LFGB, also known as the "Law on the Administration of Food, tobacco products, Cosmetics and other Daily necessities", is the most important basic legal document in the field of food hygiene management in Germany. The regulations make general and fundamental provisions on all aspects of German food, and all food products and daily necessities related to food in the German market must conform to its basic provisions above.

If the daily articles in contact with food pass the test and conform to Article 30 and Article 31 of the German Food and Daily Articles Law, they can be certified as "products without chemical toxic substances" by the LFGB test report issued by the authorized agency and can be sold in the German market.

The knife and fork mark is a food safety mark. If there is a knife and fork mark on the daily necessities in contact with food, it means that the product has passed the test and met many German and European standards, and met the requirements of German LFGB regulations. It has been proved that it does not contain toxic substances harmful to human body, and can be sold in Germany and other European and American markets.

In the European market, products marked with knife and fork can enhance customers' confidence and purchase desire, which is a powerful market tool and greatly increases the competitiveness of products in the market. Because LFGB testing requirements are more stringent than those in other countries, LFGB test reports are equally acceptable in other countries. The products with the knife and fork logo enjoy a high reputation in the hearts of consumers in the European Union, compared with similar products, the price is relatively high.
