维生素 A — additive cross-jurisdiction identity
Derived crosswalk of how one feed additive is named and authorised across three jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — pairings are anchored on the substance identity, and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge.

Authorised in the EU feed additives register (first-hand-derived parse of the EU Food & Feed Information Portal register).

| 🇨🇦 CA | Feeds Regs 2024 (CFIT) | Vitamin A — is an acetate ester, a palmitate ester, a propionate ester or a mixture of these esters of retinol. The retinol ester(s) may be blended with suitable carriers listed in the Canadian Feed Ingredients Table to standardize the vitamin A 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 a guarantee for minimum International Units of vitamin A per kilogram. | Canadian Feed Ingredients Table (CFIT), inspection.canada.ca; SOR/2024-132; feed additive listed under Part 1 > Class 5.

Crosswalk verdict
CN 公告2045 lists 维生素 A (and its acetate/palmitate esters); EU 2015/724 authorises retinyl acetate, retinyl palmitate and retinyl propionate for all animal species; AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6 defines Vitamin A Oil (90.3), Vitamin A Supplement (90.14) and Vitamin A and D Oil (90.6). Same vitamin across all three.
Recall mentions
_Derived from the in-repo recall datasets (RASFF 257 notifications, FDA CVM 58 pet-food recalls, FDA enforcement 186 general-food recalls). These are mentions of the additive name in recall records — mention ≠ causation: a recall citing the additive by name does not mean the additive itself was the hazard (the FDA enforcement set spans human food too). Each line is a verbatim substring of the cited recall source._
