The Act empowers the Ministers to set **ingredient specifications (成分につき規格)** by ordinance, prohibits selling/manufacturing/importing feed that fails the spec, and lets the Ministers **prohibit** manufacture/import/sale of pet feed that contains harmful substances or is contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms. Operative spec limits live in the MAFF/Environment ordinance under Article 5(1).\n\n## Ingredient specifications and contaminants\n\n### Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `当該規格に合わない愛がん動物用飼料を販売し、又は販売の用に供するために製造し、若しくは輸入すること。`   (EN: It is prohibited to sell, or manufacture/import for sale, pet feed that does not conform to the ingredient SPECIFICATIONS (規格) — Article 6, sub-item 四.)\n- `農林水産大臣及び環境大臣は、次に掲げる愛がん動物用飼料の使用が原因となって、愛がん動物の健康が害されることを防止するため必要があると認めるときは、農業資材審議会及び中央環境審議会の意見を聴いて、製造業者、輸入業者又は販売業者に対し、当該愛がん動物用飼料の製造、輸入又は販売を禁止することができる。`   (EN: Where necessary to prevent harm to companion-animal health, the Ministers may — after hearing the Agricultural Materials Council and Central Environment Council — prohibit a manufacturer/importer/seller from manufacturing, importing or selling the pet feed — Article 7(1).)\n- `有害な物質を含み、又はその疑いがある愛がん動物用飼料`   (EN: Pet feed containing, or suspected of containing, a harmful substance — Article 7, sub-item 一 (grounds for prohibition).)\n- `病原微生物により汚染され、又はその疑いがある愛がん動物用飼料`   (EN: Pet feed contaminated by, or suspected of contamination by, a pathogenic microorganism — Article 7, sub-item 二 (grounds for prohibition).)\n","sources":["jp-2026 — Japan Pet Food Safety Act — Ingredient Specifications & Contaminant/Pathogen Prohibitions (Arts 5·6·7) (retrieved 2026-07-29)"],"source":{"authority":"jp-2026","title":"Japan Pet Food Safety Act — Ingredient Specifications & Contaminant/Pathogen Prohibitions (Arts 5·6·7)","url":"https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/document?lawid=420AC0000000083","retrieved":"2026-07-29","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Japan 愛がん動物用飼料の安全性の確保に関する法律 (Pet Food Safety Act), lawid 420AC0000000083","verification_file":"pdf-raw/jp-2026/pet_food_safety_act_420AC0000000083.txt"},"source_document":"Japan 愛がん動物用飼料の安全性の確保に関する法律 (Pet Food Safety Act), lawid 420AC0000000083","source_file":"pdf-raw/jp-2026/pet_food_safety_act_420AC0000000083.txt","tokens_estimated":320,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
