Animal Fat — 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: Mammalia + Aves (warm-blooded land animals)
- Process anchor: from tissues of mammals and/or poultry via rendering/extraction; ≥90% total fatty acids; AAFCO: if species-named must correspond; EU: fat from warm-blooded land animals, ≤0.1% hexane if solvent-extracted
- Verdict:
equivalent

|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) | Ch.6 33.1 "Animal Fat" | from the tissues of mammals and/or poultry in commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominately of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids or other materials obtained from fats. It must contain, and be guaranteed for, not less than 90% total fatty acids, not more than 2.5% unsaponifiable matter, and not more than 1% insoluble impurities. Maximum free fatty acids and moisture must also be guaranteed. If the product bears a name descriptive of its kind or origin, e.g., “beef,” “pork,” “poultry,” it must correspond thereto. Rendered animal fat derived from only pork raw materials can be labeled as white grease. Rendered animal fat derived from only cattle raw materials can be labeled as beef tallow. Tallow containing greater than 0.15% insoluble impurities must be labeled with the BSE caution statement “do not feed to cattle or other ruminants.” If an antioxidant(s) is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words “used as a preservative.” (Proposed 1989, Amended 2017) | AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 33.1 |
| 🇪🇺 EU | Reg 68/2013 9.2.1 "Animal fat(28)" | Product composed of fat from warm-blooded land animals.If extracted with solvents, may contain up to 0,1 % hexane. | EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 9.2.1 |
| 🇨🇳 CN | 公告1773 动物脂肪 | listed in 公告1773 but no clean first-hand extraction available — honest gap; framework: 公告1773 is a positive list, the ingredient name must match the directory. | 公告1773 |
| 🇨🇦 CA | Feeds Regs 2024 (CFIT) | Animal fat (or feeding fat) — is the product that consists of the fat obtained from the tissues of mammals or poultry or both through the commercial process of rendering or extracting. If the product bears a name descriptive of its kind or origin (for example, bovine, bovine and porcine, bovine and poultry, poultry and ovine, poultry, tallow, lard, grease), it shall correspond thereto and it may be indicated on the label. If this product is totally or in part ruminant origin it may not contain more than 0.15% insoluble impurities as determined using the methodology approved by the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS official method Ca 3a-46). Products which are not clearly identified as being of non-ruminant origin must contain no more than 0.15% insoluble impurities. 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. If a preservative 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 guarantees for maximum percent moisture, maximum percent insoluble matter, maximum percent unsaponifiable matter, and maximum percent free fatty acid. | Canadian Feed Ingredients Table (CFIT), inspection.canada.ca; SOR/2024-132 |
Crosswalk verdict
AAFCO 'Animal Fat' (33.1) and EU 'Animal fat' (9.2.1) match: rendered fat of warm-blooded land animals, species name must correspond. CN lists '动物脂肪' under category 9. Minor difference: EU specifies ≤0.1% hexane residual if solvent-extracted.

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'.
