The FAMIC provisional translation lists maximum limits for constituents of pet food. The heavy-metal rows state cadmium 1 ug/g, lead 3 ug/g, and inorganic arsenic 2 ug/g, with the inorganic arsenic value coming into force on 1 October 2021. These values are loaded as pet-food standards on an as-sold basis because no alternative moisture basis is stated in the extracted text.
