Guidelines for the EU LFGB Certification Report of Children's Food Boxes: As products that come into direct contact with infant and toddler food, children's food boxes must pass LFGB certification when exported to the EU and German markets. The following are detailed processing guidelines.
1、 Why do we need LFGB certification
The children's complementary food box comes into direct contact with infant and toddler food, and the safety requirements are extremely strict. LFGB certification is the "passport" to enter the German and EU markets, and products that have not been certified will face risks such as customs seizure and market recall. Meanwhile, products with the LFGB "knife and fork logo" are more likely to gain consumer trust and enhance brand competitiveness.
2、 Main testing items
|Test Category | Test Content | Focus
|Comprehensive migration testing | Material migration under simulated food contact conditions | Distilled water, 3% acetic acid, 10% ethanol and other solvents
|Potassium permanganate consumption | Detection of total soluble organic matter | Evaluation of material safety
|Heavy metal testing | Lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, etc. | More stringent limits are required for sensitive populations in infants and young children
|Plasticizer testing | Phthalates | Ensure no harmful effects of plasticizers
|Sensory testing | Odor and taste transfer | Must not affect the flavor of the food itself
|Special substances | Bisphenol A, formaldehyde, nitrosamines, etc. | Key testing items for infant and toddler products
3、 Handling process
Product evaluation → Institution selection → Application submission → Sample testing → Report issuance
Step 1: Product Evaluation and Preparation
Clarify the material of the complementary food box (PP, PPSU, silicone, stainless steel, glass, etc.)
Different materials need to be separately inspected or explained
Prepare product material description, model, and usage description
Step 2: Choose a testing institution
Recommended Institution: Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration Number: L8083
Confirm the qualification for testing food contact materials and children's products
Step 3: Submit the application and send samples
Fill out the LFGB testing application form
Send 2-3 sets of representative samples (including various material components)
Step 4: Laboratory testing
Physical and Chemical Analysis
Food simulant migration testing
Sensory evaluation
Step 5: Obtain the report
Approved and issued LFGB test report
Can apply for authorization for the "knife and fork logo" synchronously
4、 Processing cycle and cost reference
|Project | Reference Information
|Testing cycle | 5-7 working days (regular)
|Urgent service | 3-5 working days (with a 30-50% increase in fees)
|Single material testing | 1000-2500 yuan
|Knife and fork logo authorization | Additional application fee required
