Scope
The loaded limits apply to pet food under the specifications for constituents of pet food in the FAMIC provisional translation.
Exact limit and units
| Metal | Matrix | Limit | Unit | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cd | Pet food | 1 | ug/g | as sold |
| Pb | Pet food | 3 | ug/g | as sold |
| iAs | Pet food | 2 | ug/g | as sold |
How tested
The local extract presents maximum constituent limits and does not include detailed analytical-method text in the visible table.
Enforcement posture
The standards define maximum constituent limits for pet food under Japan’s pet-food safety framework.
History of changes
The FAMIC table states that the inorganic arsenic row came into force on 1 October 2021.
How it compares
Japan’s pet-food table expressly specifies inorganic arsenic, unlike many feed and pet-feed instruments that state only total arsenic.
