Pet-food nutrient minima — Canada (honest gap)
Nutrient-matrix (CA) — honest gap recorded 2026-08-16 (Tokyo-relay egress attempt).
- No statutory pet-food nutrient MINIMUM exists to quote.
- CFIA 'Tables of Nutrient Guarantees and Conditions for Feed Labels' (incorporated into SOR/2024-132, landed earlier) sets LABEL guaranteed-analysis declaration rules (must declare min crude protein / min crude fat / max crude fibre), but sets NO species-specific pet nutrient minimum or maximum.
- Status: HONEST GAP — Canada has no statutory pet-food nutrient profile; only label guaranteed-analysis rules. Do not fabricate statutory minima (voluntary NRC/AAFCO-style references are not regulatory).
- Re-confirmed 2026-08-17: CFIA SOR/2024-132 (Tables of Nutrient Guarantees) sets LABEL guaranteed-analysis declaration rules only — no species-specific pet nutrient minimum/maximum exists. Honest gap (not a reachability failure).
