Wheat Gluten — 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: Triticum aestivum L. / other wheat cultivars
- Process anchor: AAFCO 'Wheat Gluten' (93.9): water-insoluble protein fraction (gliadin+glutenin) washed from wheat flour, ≥80% CP dry; EU 'Vital wheat gluten' (1.11.18, ≥80% protein N×6.25, ≤2% ash); CN 小麦蛋白 (wheat gluten)
- Verdict:
equivalent

- 🇺🇸 AAFCO (US) — Ch.6
93.9"Wheat Gluten": major water-insoluble proteinaceous fraction of wheat, consisting primarily of gliadin and glutenin proteins. Wheat gluten is prepared from wheat flour that is free from other seeds and foreign matter, by washing with water to remove most of the water-soluble non-protein components. Vital Wheat Gluten is dried gluten that has retained its viscoelasticity when hydrated, whereas Devitalized Wheat Gluten has reduced viscoelasticity as a result of denaturation by heat. Moisture content shall not exceed 10%. Wheat gluten, on a moisture-free basis, must contain not less than 80% crude protein (crude protein based on N × 6.25), and not more than 1.5% crude fiber and 2.0% ash. (For identification of the viscoelastic properties on the ingredient label, “vital” or “devitalized” must be specified.) The words “vital” or “devitalized” are not required when listing as an ingredient in a manufactured feed. (Proposed 2013, Adopted 2017 rev. 1) 96.

Crosswalk verdict
Same identity. Minor: AAFCO distinguishes vital vs devitalized; EU 'vital' variant; CN 小麦蛋白 generic. Equivalent.

> 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'.
