LFGB is an important basic legal document in the management of food hygiene in Germany, serving as the guideline and core for the formulation of other specialized food hygiene laws and regulations. In recent years, the LFGB regulations have also been modified, mainly to match the new EU standards. The LFGB regulations provide general and basic safety requirements for food and various daily necessities in contact with it, and all food and food related daily necessities in the German market must comply with the basic regulations on LFGB.

Daily necessities or related materials in contact with food that have passed LFGB testing and comply with the German Food and Daily Necessities Law can be certified as "products without chemical toxic substances" by an authorized institution through an LMBG/LFGB testing report, and are allowed to be sold in the German market.
