Exchange of information on scientific standpoints, technical knowledge, food law assessments from the various areas with the aim of aligning with a uniform current state of knowledge and the greatest possible approximation of the positions of the areas represented. This applies in particular to:

 

• Observation of the latest case law in food law, especially with regard to cereals, baked goods and pasta
• Statement on the changes to the guidelines for bread and biscuits, pasta and fine baked goods of the German Food Book Commission (guidelines)
• Development and publication of recommendations in cooperation with the manufacturers' associations concerned
  (see: http://www.wissensforum-backwaren.de )
• Elaboration and publication of definitions
  on certain cereal products (e.g. muesli) in cooperation with the DLG, on fine baked goods (e.g. croissants, almond croissants) and hygiene regulations for facilities in sales outlets (e.g. self-service systems for unpackaged bread and rolls)
  The definition of "muesli" is published in the annually published "DLG test regulations for bread, fine baked goods, cereal foods and confectionery". These can be requested by email: backwarenwettbewerbe@dlg-frankfurt.de.
• Scientific and legal assessment of novel manufacturing processes, especially taking into account the relevant guidelines (e.g. reconstituted whole grain meal products)
• Organization and implementation of advanced training courses on advances in technology, analysis and hygiene of food and developments in food law
