Sodium Bentonite — 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
73.048"Sodium Bentonite": AAFCO 73.048 'Sodium Bentonite' is a natural mineral whose main component is montmorillonite (a tri-layered hydrous aluminium silicate); its sodium exchange/available ion content is 1–2% of the air-dried material, and it serves non-medicated feed as an anticaking and pelleting aid, capped at 2% of the total ration. _(paraphrase) — AAFCO OP 2024 Ch.6, code 73.048; AAFCO OP is copyrighted, cell is a derived fact summary, not verbatim)_
- 🇪🇺 EU: no entry in the Reg (EU) 68/2013 Feed Catalogue for "Sodium Bentonite". EU Reg 68/2013 (feed MATERIALS catalogue) has no bentonite entry — in the EU bentonite is handled in the feed-ADDITIVE framework (Reg (EU) 1831/2003), not in this catalogue. Honest gap for the feed-material axis. _(src: EU Reg 68/2013 Annex — no matching material)_

11.1.8"膨润土[斑脱岩、膨土岩]": 以蒙脱石为主要成分的粘土岩—蒙脱石粘土岩。 _(src: 农业部公告第1773号 饲料原料目录, entry 膨润土[斑脱岩、膨土岩])_
- 🇰🇷 KO: no confirmed Korean name in the local 별표1/별표2 HWP extracts (the parsed extract set is partial — the animal-origin and mineral sections of 별표1 are not in the local set); live regulation 사료등의기준및규격(전문)_2025-93호 currency unverified in this environment. Honest gap, not fabricated.
Crosswalk verdict
AAFCO 73.048 specifies the SODIUM form of bentonite (sodium exchange content 1–2%, anti-caking/pelleting use ≤2% of ration), while CN 11.1.8 膨润土[斑脱岩、膨土岩] is generic bentonite — montmorillonite-based clay rock — without the sodium-form specification. Same mineral class, narrower AAFCO spec — closest_with_differences. The EU feed-materials catalogue has no entry (additive framework instead).

> 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'.
