Lecithin — 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.

- 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6
84.10"Soy Phosphate or Soy Lecithin": AAFCO 84.10 'Soy Phosphate or Soy Lecithin' is the mixed phosphatide product separated from soybean oil during degumming; it contains lecithin, cephalin and inositol phosphatides together with glycerides of soybean oil plus traces of tocopherols, glucosides and pigments. _(paraphrase) — AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 84.10; AAFCO OP is copyrighted, cell is a derived fact summary, not verbatim)_

Crosswalk verdict
All three name the degumming-derived phosphatide fraction of oilseeds: EU 2.21.1 'Crude lecithins' is generic across oilseeds/oil fruits, while AAFCO 84.10 and CN 2.3.3 大豆磷脂油 are specifically soy-derived (CN: the oil-bearing phospholipid vacuum-dehydrated from soybean-crude-oil degumming). KR 별표2 lists 레시틴 as an emulsifier (보조사료/supplementary feed), not a 단미사료. Same substance class, soy-specific vs generic scope — 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'.
