The LFGB criminalises (§ 58) and fines (§ 60) breaches of the § 17 feed prohibitions: e.g. manufacturing/treating feed contrary to § 17(1) (human-health ban) is a criminal offence (§ 58(1) No. 8); manufacturing, placing on the market, or feeding feed contrary to § 17(2) (animal/environmental-health ban) are administrative offences (§ 60(2) No. 2-4). C1 substring-verified against the verbatim German clauses below (English translation is a working rendering, needs_review).\n\nGermany's LFGB (Food and Feed Code) pairs the feed-trade **prohibitions** in § 17 with German-NATIONAL **penalty provisions**: criminal penalties (§ 58 Strafvorschriften) and administrative fines (§ 60 Bußgeldvorschriften). This topic records the penalty clauses that attach to breaching the § 17 feed prohibitions — distinct from `DE_FEED_LFGB_PROHIBITIONS`, which covers the prohibitions themselves. Below are verbatim German clauses (C1 substring-verified against the first-hand LFGB text); the English is a working translation (needs_review).\n\n**§ 58 (1) - Criminal penalty framework**\n> DE (verbatim): \"(1) Mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe wird bestraft, wer\"\n> EN: \"(1) Whoever ... is liable to a custodial sentence of up to three years or to a fine (general criminal-penalty framework of the LFGB).\"\n\n**§ 58 (1) No. 8 - Criminal offence: breaching § 17(1) feed prohibition**\n> DE (verbatim): \"entgegen § 17 Absatz 1 Satz 1 Nummer 1 ein Futtermittel herstellt oder behandelt,\"\n> EN: \"Whoever, contrary to § 17(1) sentence 1 no. 1, manufactures or treats feed (the core human-health feed prohibition) commits a criminal offence.\"\n\n**§ 60 (2) - Administrative-offence framework**\n> DE (verbatim): \"(2) Ordnungswidrig handelt, wer vorsätzlich oder fahrlässig\"\n> EN: \"(2) Whoever intentionally or negligently ... acts contrary to the listed provisions commits an administrative offence (Bußgeld framework).\"\n\n**§ 60 (2) No. 2 - Admin fine: breaching § 17(2) No. 1**\n> DE (verbatim): \"entgegen § 17 Absatz 2 Nummer 1 Futtermittel herstellt oder behandelt,\"\n> EN: \"Whoever, contrary to § 17(2) no. 1, manufactures or treats feed (animal/environmental-health prohibition) commits an administrative offence.\"\n\n**§ 60 (2) No. 3 - Admin fine: breaching § 17(2) No. 2**\n> DE (verbatim): \"entgegen § 17 Absatz 2 Nummer 2 Futtermittel in den Verkehr bringt,\"\n> EN: \"Whoever, contrary to § 17(2) no. 2, places feed on the market commits an administrative offence.\"\n\n**§ 60 (2) No. 4 - Admin fine: breaching § 17(2) No. 3**\n> DE (verbatim): \"entgegen § 17 Absatz 2 Nummer 3 Futtermittel verfüttert,\"\n> EN: \"Whoever, contrary to § 17(2) no. 3, feeds feed (to animals) commits an administrative offence.\"\n\n\n","sources":["Germany LFGB — Germany - Feed-law enforcement: criminal (§ 58) & administrative (§ 60) penalties for LFGB feed violations (retrieved 2026-07-27)"],"source":{"authority":"Germany LFGB","title":"Germany - Feed-law enforcement: criminal (§ 58) & administrative (§ 60) penalties for LFGB feed violations","url":"https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/lfgb/","retrieved":"2026-07-27","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"LFGB - Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch (Food and Feed Code): Straf- und Bußgeldvorschriften","verification_file":"pdf-raw/germany-2026/LFGB.pdf (gesetze-im-internet.de)"},"source_document":"LFGB - Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch (Food and Feed Code): Straf- und Bußgeldvorschriften","source_file":"pdf-raw/germany-2026/LFGB.pdf (gesetze-im-internet.de)","tokens_estimated":555,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
