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)  _(src: AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 33.1)_\n- **🇪🇺 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. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 9.2.1)_\n- **🇨🇳 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. _(src: 公告1773)_\n\n## Crosswalk verdict\n\nAAFCO 'Animal Fat' (33.1) and EU 'Animal fat' (9.2.1) match: rendered fat of warm-blooded land animals, species name must correspond.
