The German regulation on requirements for hygiene in the production, treatment, and marketing of food (LMHV) applies in addition to European hygiene law. It regulates, for example, the supply of small quantities of certain primary products or the production of traditional foods. In the LMHV, for example, the term "perishable food" is defined. Additionally, the Animal Food Hygiene Regulation (Tier-LMHV) applies with hygiene requirements for animal-based foods.
