China's feed additive positive list is the Catalogue of Feed Additives (饲料添加剂品种目录) — the 2013 edition was issued as Ministry of Agriculture Announcement No. 2045 — together with the Feed Additive Safe Use Rules (饲料添加剂安全使用规范). GB 13078-2017 is the feed hygiene standard (饲料卫生标准), not the additive list. For pet food, GB/T 31216-2014 and GB/T 31217-2014 require that additives used comply with the catalogue and corresponding hygiene standards. The Pet Feed Administrative Measures (MOA Announcement No. 20, 2018, 办法第四条) require pet feed producers to observe the 饲料添加剂品种目录 and 饲料添加剂安全使用规范 and prohibit producing pet feed with any substance outside the 饲料原料目录/饲料添加剂品种目录; the same ban applies to sellers (第十条), and violations are penalized under Regulation Article 39 (办法第十八条). Labeling (Annex 3, Article 6): additive names on labels must match the catalogue; antioxidants, colorants and flavoring/palatability additives may be declared by category name. The available corpus does not contain the catalogue's item-level entries, so specific additive permissions or maximum-use levels (e.g., antioxidant or preservative limits) could not be verified from project sources.
