Algae — 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.

Latin anchor: — (not stated in source)
Process anchor: EU 7.1.1 "Algae"

Per-jurisdiction entry

🇪🇺 EU — Reg 68/2013 7.1.1 "Algae": Algae, live or processed, including fresh, chilled or frozen algae. May contain up to 0,1 % of antifoaming agents. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 7.1.1)_
🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6 60.76 "Dried Seaweed Meal": AAFCO defines Dried Seaweed Meal (60.76) as the product from drying and grinding non-toxic marine algae of the red, brown, and green divisions, with guaranteed salt, potassium, and iodine levels. AAFCO scope is marine seaweed, so general algae map to this entry as the closest AAFCO match. Verdict = closest_with_differences for the AAFCO axis. _(paraphrase) — AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 60.76; not verbatim)_
🇨🇳 CN — 公告1773 7.5.1 ____藻（藻类及其加工产品）: 可食用大型海藻（如海带、巨藻、龙须藻）或食品企业加工食用大型海藻剩余的边角料，可经冷藏、冷冻、干燥、粉碎处理。产品名称应标明海藻品种和产品物理性状，如：海带粉。 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号饲料原料目录, entry 7.5.1 ____藻)_
🇨🇳 CN — 规格指标 (公告1773 7.5.1 ____藻): 粗蛋白质、粗灰分 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号饲料原料目录, spec column)_

_CN 公告1773 has no entry literally named "藻类"; the closest 1773 material is the template entry 7.5.1 ____藻（藻类及其加工产品）, quoted verbatim above. Not asserting the English name "Algae" equals the Chinese entry._

🇨🇦 CA — Feeds Regs 2024 (CFIT): Haematococcus algae meal, comminuted dehydrated (or dried Haematococcus algae meal) — is the comminuted (pulverized/homogenized) dried spores of an unmodified strain of Haematococcus pluvialis (Phylum Chlorophyta, Class Chlorophyceae, Order Chlamydomonadales, Family Haematococcaceae). This ingredient is approved for use in salmonid fish feeds as a source of the carotenoid pigment astaxanthin. It may be blended with suitable carriers listed in the Canadian Feed Ingredients Table to standardize the astaxanthin concentration. If a carrier is used, it must be approved for use in livestock feeds, it shall be used at the approved rate, and the common name or names shall be indicated on the label. If an antioxidant is used, it must be approved for use in livestock feeds, it shall be used at the approved rate, and the common name or names shall be indicated on the label. It shall be labelled with the following statement: Warning/Mise en garde : "This ingredient is approved for use as a colouring agent in salmonid fish feeds at a rate not to exceed 80 grams of astaxanthin per tonne of the complete feed. If astaxanthin from dried Haematococcus algae meal is used in combination with canthaxanthin in salmonid fish feeds, then the rate of canthaxanthin used shall not exceed 50 grams per tonne of the complete feed. The combined concentration of astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and adonirubin from all sources shall not exceed 80 grams per tonne of the complete feed. / Cet ingrédient est approuvé pour l'utilisation comme agent de coloration dans les aliments pour les poissons salmonidés en quantité ne devant pas dépasser 80 grammes d'astaxanthine par tonne de l'aliment complet. Si l'astaxanthine provenant de la farine d'algues Haematococcus séchée est utilisée en conjonction avec la canthaxanthine dans les aliments pour les poissons salmonidés, la quantité de canthaxanthine utilisée ne doit pas dépasser 50 grammes par tonne de l'aliment complet. La concentration totale de l'astaxanthine, la canthaxanthine et l'adonirubine provenant de toutes les sources ne devra pas dépasser 80 grammes par tonne de l'aliment complet." For mixed feed labels: Warning/Mise en garde : "This product is for use as a colouring agent in salmonid fish feeds at a rate not to exceed 80 grams of astaxanthin per tonne of the complete feed. If astaxanthin from dried Haematococcus algae meal is used in combination with canthaxanthin in salmonid fish feeds, then the rate of canthaxanthin used shall not exceed 50 grams per tonne of the complete feed. The combined concentration of astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and adonirubin from all sources shall not exceed 80 grams per tonne of the complete feed. / Ce produit est pour l'utilisation comme agent de coloration dans les aliments pour les poissons salmonidés en quantité ne devant pas dépasser 80 grammes d'astaxanthine par tonne de l'aliment complet. Si l'astaxanthine provenant de la farine d'algues Haematococcus séchée est utilisée en conjonction avec la canthaxanthine dans les aliments pour les poissons salmonidés, la quantité de canthaxanthine utilisée ne doit pas dépasser 50 grammes par tonne de l'aliment complet. La concentration totale de l'astaxanthine, la canthaxanthine et l'adonirubine provenant de toutes les sources ne devra pas dépasser 80 grammes par tonne de l'aliment complet." It shall be labelled with guarantees for minimum milligrams of astaxanthin per kilogram, maximum milligrams of astaxanthin per kilogram, and maximum percent moisture. _(src: Canadian Feed Ingredients Table (CFIT), inspection.canada.ca; SOR/2024-132)_
