Chicken Meal — cross-standard identity
Derived crosswalk of how one pet-food ingredient is named and defined across jurisdictions. No claim of regulatory equivalence is made — the pairing is anchored on Latin name + process and the verdict states where the definitions actually diverge. AAFCO cells are paraphrased fact summaries (copyrighted source); EU/CN/KR cells are verbatim from government sources.

Per-jurisdiction entry
- 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6
9.71"Poultry Meal": AAFCO 9.71 Poultry Meal is the wet- or dry-rendered product of clean flesh and skin of slaughtered poultry, with or without accompanying bone, excluding feathers (beyond unavoidable traces), heads, feet and viscera; the label must guarantee minimum crude protein and crude fat. 'Chicken meal' is a species-named variant of this entry — AAFCO has no separately defined chicken meal. _(paraphrase) — AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 9.71; AAFCO OP is copyrighted, cell is a derived fact summary, not verbatim)_

9.4.1"Processed animal protein(28)": Product obtained by heating, drying and grinding whole or parts of warm-blooded land animals from which the fat may have been partially extracted or physically removed If extracted with solvents, may contain up to 0,1 % hexane. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex, code 9.4.1)_

9.6.7"肉粉": 以分割可食用鲜肉过程中余下的部分为原料，经高温蒸煮、灭菌、脱脂、干燥、粉碎获得的产品。原料应来源于同一动物种类，除不可避 … 产品名称应标明具体动物种类，如：鸡肉粉。 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号 饲料原料目录, entry 肉粉)_

Crosswalk verdict
AAFCO 9.71 Poultry Meal and CN 9.6.7 肉粉 (which mandates species naming and gives 鸡肉粉 / chicken meal as its worked example) cover the species-named chicken meal. The EU has no named poultry/chicken meal: rendered poultry protein falls under the category entry 9.4.1 'Processed animal protein'. Same substance class, name-based vs category-based regulatory units — closest_with_differences.

> Method: derived_from_dataset. Every quoted name/definition is from the first-hand source cited per cell (AAFCO paraphrase mode; EU/CN/KR verbatim). Equivalence is a derived editorial judgement anchored on Latin name + process; where jurisdictions use different regulatory units the verdict is closest_with_differences / no_confirmed_equivalent rather than 'same'.
