History
Former logo until 2019 (Federation for Food Law and Food Science)

Food Federation Germany was founded on March 10, 1955 in Nuremberg, Germany, under the name Federation for Food Law and Food Science (German: Bund für Lebensmittelrecht und Lebensmittelkunde, abbreviated BLL) as a re-establishment of the Federation of German Food Manufacturers and Traders (German: Bund Deutscher Nahrungsmittel-Fabrikanten und -Händler) that had been active from 1901 to 1945.[3] In May 2019, the association's general meeting voted for changing the association's name to Food Federation Germany (German: Lebensmittelverband Deutschland).[4] The name change came into force in July 2019, followed by a rebranding process that was awarded a Rebrand 100: merit at the 2020 Rebrand 100 Global Awards.[5]
