Ammonium Sulfate — cross-standard identity
Derived crosswalk of how one pet-food ingredient is named and defined across jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — the pairing is anchored on Latin name + process and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge.

Per-jurisdiction entry
- 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6
57.27"Ammonium Sulfate": is the product resulting from the neutralization of
sulfuric acid with ammonia. It shall contain not less than 21% nitrogen (N) and not less than 24% sulfur (S). It shall contain not more than 75 ppm arsenic (As) and 30 ppm heavy metals reported as lead. This does not include ammonium sulfate made from by-product ammonia recovered from coke-oven gas. It shall be used only in ruminant feeds as a source of sulfur and nitrogen in an amount that supplies not more than 2% of equivalent crude protein in the total daily ration. If a premix, concentrate, or supplement contains more than 2% of equivalent crude protein from ammonium sulfate, the label shall have adequate directions for use and a prominent statement, “Caution--This feed shall be used only in accordance with directions furnished on the label.” (Proposed 1969, Adopted 1972) _(src: AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 57.27)_

11.8.1"Ammonium sulphate": Ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) obtained by chemical synthesis. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 11.8.1)_ - 🇨🇳 CN — 公告1773: name "硫酸铵" was not confirmed in the parsed 饲料原料目录 (Ann.1773); it may instead fall under the 饲料添加剂目录 (Ann.2045) or be absent. Marked as no confirmed CN 原料 entry. _(src: 农业部公告第1773号 饲料原料目录 — not found)_
- 🇨🇦 CA — Feeds Regs 2024 (CFIT): Ammonium sulfate — is the ammonium salt of sulfuric acid, generally expressed as (NH4)2SO4, and having the CAS# 7783-20-2. It shall be labelled with guarantees for minimum percent nitrogen, maximum percent nitrogen, minimum percent sulfate, maximum milligrams of arsenic per kilogram, maximum milligrams of iron per kilogram and maximum milligrams of lead per kilogram. Note: ammonium sulfate is also approved under subclass 6.3 with ingredient number 1-603-015. _(src: Canadian Feed Ingredients Table (CFIT), inspection.canada.ca; SOR/2024-132)_
