LFGB is the abbreviation of Germany's "Food and Daily Necessities Act", which stipulates the safety requirements for materials and products in contact with food. Coffee cups exported to Germany must pass LFGB testing to prove that they do not contain toxic substances that are harmful to the human body in order to comply with German LFGB regulations and be sold in Germany and other European and American markets.
