Taurine — 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: 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid
- Process anchor: AAFCO 'Taurine' (6.12): product ≥97% 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, added to cat/dog/fish food; CN 牛磺酸 (amino acid additive, 添加剂目录 2045); EU: NOT in the Reg 68/2013 feed catalogue — it is a feed ADDITIVE under Reg 1831/2003

It is used as a nutritional supplement in cat foods, dog foods, and fish foods. Taurine may also be added to the feed of growing chickens; when added to complete chicken feed, the total taurine content shall not exceed 0.054% of the feed (21 CFR 573.980).

Crosswalk verdict
Taurine is an additive, not a feed-ingredient-catalogue entry. AAFCO lists it in Ch.6 (as a feed ingredient/additive); CN lists it in the 添加剂目录 (2045). The EU Reg 68/2013 catalogue has NO taurine entry — in the EU it is authorised as a feed additive (Reg 1831/2003). So there is no EU feed-catalogue equivalent to cite; only the additive framework applies.
Multilingual names (official where free)
- EN (AAFCO/EU): see per-jurisdiction entry above
- ZH (CN): 牛磺酸
- EU 23-language official names (EUR-Lex 68/2013): not applicable — taurine is NOT in the Reg (EU) 68/2013 Feed Catalogue; it is a feed additive under Reg (EC) 1831/2003, so there are no 23 EUR-Lex catalogue names to cite.
- JA (FAMIC 飼料の公定規格 別表): not listed — taurine is an additive, not a feed-ingredient-catalogue entry; honest gap, not fabricated.

- 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'.
