Further commodities
Commodities must have special characteristics so that they meet the requirements of consumer protection. With our experts' analysis, consulting and expert reports, we at WESSLING ensure that manufacturers are able to launch their products onto the market in conformity with the legislation.
Not every product that is used in the household is a commodity. They are defined in the food and commodities law. According to Section 2 (6) of the German Food and Feed Code (LFGB), they particularly include products which come into contact with the human body, cosmetic packaging, toys or also care products in addition to objects that come into contact with food.
The WESSLING experts support you, the producer, with precise analysis, competent consulting and expert services so that the commodities you manufacture are safe and do not endanger the health of consumers. We are highly familiar with the legal requirements.
