Protected food names In 1993 EU legislation came into force which provides for a system for the protection of food names on a geographical or traditional recipe basis. The scheme highlights regional and traditional foods whose authenticity and origin can be guaranteed.
Protected food names Protected Designation of Origin: Open to products which are produced, processed and prepared within a particular geographical area, and with features and characteristics which must be due to the geographical area. Examples: Blue Stilton cheese, Cornish clotted cream, Shetland lamb, Jersey Royal potatoes http://www.defra.gov.uk/food-farm/food/protected-names/
Protected food names Protected Geographical Indication: Open to products which must be produced or processed or prepared within the geographical area and have a reputation, features or certain qualities attributable to that area. Examples: Cornish pasty, Arbroath smokies, Welsh beef, Cumberland sausage
Protected food names Traditional Speciality Guaranteed: Open to products which are traditional or have customary names and have a set of features which distinguish them from other similar products. These features must not be due to the geographical area the product is produced in nor entirely based on technical advances in the method of production. Example: Traditional farm fresh turkey
