Fish Meal — cross-standard identity
Derived crosswalk of how one pet-food ingredient is named and defined across three jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — pairings are anchored on Latin name + process and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge.
- Latin anchor: Pisces (whole fish or fish cuttings)
- Process anchor: clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish or fish cuttings; oil may be partly extracted; salt rule if >3% NaCl (AAFCO); EU: heated/pressed/dried whole or parts of fish, solubles may be re-added
- Verdict:
equivalent

Crosswalk verdict
All three define fish meal as dried/rendered whole-fish-or-cuttings tissue. Differences: AAFCO caps salt at 7% with naming rule; EU allows re-adding fish solubles before drying; CN requires '淡水鱼粉' naming if freshwater origin and prohibits diseased/contaminated fish. Same identity, minor process/labelling differences.

- RU (ТР ТС 024/2011 «О безопасности кормов и кормовых добавок», ЕАЭС): not retrieved — the in-force EAEU feed technical regulation exists, but its feed-material nomenclature could not be obtained as a first-hand parseable substring in this environment (adilet.zan.kz / docs.cntd.ru returned 000, eec.eaeunion.org 404 via Tokyo relay; JS-gated). Honest gap, not fabricated.
> Method: derived_from_dataset. Every quoted name/definition is from the first-hand source cited per cell. Equivalence is a derived editorial judgement anchored on Latin name + process; where jurisdictions use different regulatory units (named meal vs category-based PAP) the verdict is regulatory_divergence / no_confirmed_equivalent rather than 'same'.
