Silicone products that meet FDA and LFGB standards both have excellent qualities of not affecting food taste, being non-toxic, and heat-resistant. However, there are some differences between the two standards:
1. FDA is the food-grade standard for the United States, while LFGB is the standard for Germany.
2. FDA has strict regulations on plasticizers, heavy metals, and other harmful substances that could be present in the silicone products. LFGB also has strict regulations but has more strict requirements when it comes to substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
3. FDA requires food-grade silicones to be oven-safe up to 450°F (232°C) while LFGB requires a higher heat resistance, up to 450°F (232°C)

FDA certification in the United States
FDA is the abbreviation of the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA sometimes also represents the US Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA is authorized by the United States Congress, the federal government, and is a law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug management. It is also a government health control monitoring agency composed of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, microbiologists, chemists, and statisticians dedicated to protecting, promoting, and improving national health. Many other countries seek and receive assistance from the FDA to promote and monitor the safety of their domestic products

LFGB certification, also known as the "Food, Tobacco Products, Cosmetics, and Other Daily Necessities Management Law", is the most important basic legal document in the field of food hygiene management in Germany, and is the guideline and core for the formulation of other specialized food hygiene laws and regulations. But in recent years, there have also been modifications, mainly to match European standards.
