What is the German LFGB certification? German food-grade exposure test

What is LFGB?

The LFGB, or the German Food and Commodities Act, is a critical regulation that ensures the safety of food contact materials. It sets strict standards to prevent harmful substances from contaminating food. This law applies to a wide range of materials, including plastics, silicone, and paper, that come into direct contact with food. By adhering to LFGB standards, manufacturers can demonstrate that their products meet high safety and quality requirements.

Why is LFGB Important for Food Safety?

LFGB plays a vital role in protecting consumers from health risks. It ensures that food contact materials do not leach harmful substances into food. For example, migration testing under LFGB evaluates whether materials release chemicals when exposed to food. This process helps maintain the integrity of food and safeguards public health.
