LFGB (German Food and Feed Code)
The German Food and Feed Code — the central law for CBD foods.
The LFGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch) is Germany's central law on food safety. It governs the manufacture, handling and sale of food, including supplements containing CBD.
For CBD retailers in Germany, LFGB compliance is decisive. The law prohibits selling food that is liable to harm health or to mislead the consumer.
All Hemp Wholesale Europe products sold as food meet the LFGB requirements. We provide complete documentation and marketability assessments.
