Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG)
A name shall be eligible for registration as a ‘Traditional Speciality Guaranteed’ where it describes a specific product or foodstuff that must be traditional (25 years/handed down through generations) or established by custom.
This type of registration results from a mode of production, processing or composition corresponding to traditional practice for that product or foodstuff. Moreover the product is produced from raw materials or ingredients that are those traditionally used. This certificate deals with the traditional character of a foodstuff or agricultural product by means of its production and composition, rather than to its origin. |
