Barley — cross-standard identity

Derived crosswalk of how one pet-food ingredient is named and defined across three jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — pairings are anchored on Latin name + process and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge.

  • Latin anchor: Hordeum vulgare L.
  • Process anchor: AAFCO 'Barley Hulls' (12.1) is the only barley Ch.6 entry; whole barley grain not separately defined. EU 'Barley' (1.1.1, grains of Hordeum vulgare, may be rumen protected); CN 大麦 (barley, incl. hulled/ naked Hordeum vulgare)
  • Verdict: closest_with_differences

Per-jurisdiction entry

  • 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6 12.1 "Barley Hulls": of the outer covering of the barley. (Adopted prior to 1928) _(src: AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 12.1)_
  • 🇪🇺 EU — Reg 68/2013 1.1.1 "Barley": Grains of Hordeum vulgare L. It may be rumen protected _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 1.1.1)_
  • 🇨🇳 CN — 公告1773 大麦: 包括皮大麦(Hordeum vulgare L.)和裸大麦(青稞) (Hordeum vulgare var. nudum)籽实。可经瘤胃保 护。 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号 饲料原料目录, entry 大麦)_

Crosswalk verdict

CN/EU define the barley GRAIN. AAFCO Ch.6 has no generic 'Barley' grain term — only 'Barley Hulls' (12.1), 'Pearl Barley By-Product' (12.3), 'Barley Mill By-Product' (12.4). The pet-food 'barley' maps to EU/CN grain but has no direct AAFCO grain entry; closest AAFCO = barley milling by-products.

> Method: derived_from_dataset. Every quoted name/definition is from the first-hand source cited per cell. Equivalence is a derived editorial judgement anchored on Latin name + process; where jurisdictions use different regulatory units (named meal vs category-based PAP) the verdict is regulatory_divergence / no_confirmed_equivalent rather than 'same'.
