Kitchen — LFGB vs FDA: The Documentation Pack to Request
7 min Read
TL;DR
- Request a complete documentation pack.
- Declarations, test reports, material composition, heat limits.
Food-contact compliance is a common customs/platform failure point. Don't guess which standard applies.
Why This Matters
Missing documents mean blocked shipments. You need the full pack ready before goods leave the factory.
What to ask suppliers
- Q1Which standard can you meet (LFGB/FDA) and with what documents?
- Q2Do you have material composition declarations?
- Q3Can you provide heat limits and migration evidence?
Red Flags
- Vague “FDA ok” claims without reports
- Won’t disclose composition
- No traceable lab report numbers
