China's permitted feed ingredient positive list is the Catalogue of Feed Raw Materials (饲料原料目录), issued as Ministry of Agriculture Announcement No. 1773 — not a GB/T standard. GB/T 31216-2014 and GB/T 31217-2014 (complete dog/cat food) require that raw materials and additives used in pet food production comply with this catalogue, the Catalogue of Feed Additives (2013, MOA Announcement No. 2045), and corresponding hygiene standards. The Pet Feed Administrative Measures (MOA Announcement No. 20, 2018) prohibit producing pet feed with any substance outside the 饲料原料目录 and 饲料添加剂品种目录, and ban the sale of pet feed made with non-catalogue substances. For labeling, Notice No. 20 Annex 3 Appendix 2 defines 14 ingredient category names (谷物及其制品, 肉类及其制品, 昆虫及其制品, 鱼类等水生生物及其制品, etc.) that must correspond to catalogue entries; insect-based ingredients map to catalogue items 9.2 and 9.5. Substances not in the catalogue require a new feed ingredient approval (新饲料审定) under the Feed and Feed Additive Administration Regulation before use.
