Plastic straws are a common plastic product, usually used for drinking drinks, milk tea, coffee and other liquids. Plastic straws exported to Germany need to undergo LFGB testing. Germany has strict regulatory requirements for food contact materials to ensure product safety and compliance with hygienic standards. All food contact materials sold on the German market, including plastic straws, must comply with LFGB testing standards. Products that pass LFGB testing and certification can be sold in the German market and accepted by consumers.



German LFGB food contact testing standards for plastic straws:

1. Sensory testing: Test the appearance, color, odor and taste characteristics of the straw to ensure that it will not have a negative impact on the taste and smell of the food.

2. Physical and mechanical performance testing: Test the heat resistance, cold resistance, pressure resistance, tensile resistance and bending resistance of the straw to ensure that it can maintain stability and reliability under normal conditions.

3. Chemical performance testing: Test the chemical substances contained in the straws, such as plasticizers, heavy metals, etc., to ensure that they will not contaminate food.

4. Toxicology testing: Test the harmful substances that straws may release during use, such as phthalates, bisphenol A, etc., to ensure that they will not cause harm to human health.



Plastic straws German LFGB food contact testing process:

1. Prepare samples: Prepare a certain number of plastic straw samples to ensure that the samples meet the requirements of German food contact materials regulations, do not contain substances harmful to the human body, and ensure their hygienic quality.

2. Submit an application: Submit an application to the LFGB certification agency and provide product information and samples.

3. Initial inspection: Conduct a preliminary inspection on the sample to check the appearance, color, smell and other characteristics to ensure that it will not have a negative impact on the taste and smell of the food.

4. Chemical performance testing: Test the chemical substances contained in the straws, such as plasticizers, heavy metals, etc., to ensure that they will not contaminate food.

5. Toxicological testing: Test the harmful substances that the straw may release during use, such as phthalates, bisphenol A, etc., to ensure that they will not cause harm to human health.

6. Physical and mechanical performance testing: Test the heat resistance, cold resistance, pressure resistance, tensile resistance and bending resistance of the straw to ensure that it can maintain stability and reliability under normal conditions.

7. Certification and authorization: If the straw meets the requirements of LFGB standards, it will obtain the corresponding certification and be allowed to be sold in the German market.
