The Act itself sets the framework: it defines \"pet feed\" (愛がん動物用飼料) and empowers the Ministers to set **labelling standards (表示につき基準)** by ordinance, and prohibits selling pet feed whose labelling does not conform to the standard. The operative, item-level labelling rules (e.g. what must appear on the label) are set by the MAFF/Environment ordinance (農林水産省令・環境省令) under Article 5(1); this topic cites the Act-level provisions.\n\n## Labelling framework\n\n### Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `この法律において「愛がん動物用飼料」とは、愛がん動物の栄養に供することを目的として使用される物をいう。`   (EN: \"Pet feed\" (愛がん動物用飼料) means any substance used for the nutrition of companion animals — Article 2(2).)\n- `農林水産大臣及び環境大臣は、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見地から、農林水産省令・環境省令で、愛がん動物用飼料の製造の方法若しくは表示につき基準を定め、又は愛がん動物用飼料の成分につき規格を定めることができる。`   (EN: The MAFF and Environment Ministers may, by ordinance, set standards for manufacturing method or LABELLING (表示), and specifications for INGREDIENTS (成分), for pet feed — Article 5(1).)\n- `当該基準に合う表示がない愛がん動物用飼料を販売すること。`   (EN: It is prohibited to sell pet feed that does not bear labelling conforming to the standard — Article 6, sub-item 三 (prohibition once standards are set).)\n","sources":["jp-2026 — Japan Pet Food Safety Act — Labelling Framework (Arts 2·5·6) (retrieved 2026-07-29)"],"source":{"authority":"jp-2026","title":"Japan Pet Food Safety Act — Labelling Framework (Arts 2·5·6)","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":240,"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."}
