List of traditional specialities guaranteed by country
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of traditional specialties guaranteed by country. Traditional specialities guaranteed (TSGs, singular traditional speciality guaranteed) are traditional food products protected under EU and/or UK law. This label differs from the geographical indications protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI) in that the TSG quality scheme does not certify that the protected food product has a link to a specific geographical area, and thus a TSG product can be produced outside the area or country from which it originates. To qualify for the TSG label, a food product must be of "specific character" and its raw materials, production method, or processing must be "traditional".
All EU TSG registered before 1 January 2021 are also valid in the UK. The EU publishes its designations in the TSG database,[1] and the UK in its TSG register.[2] As of 28 February 2024, 58 names were registered under UK law[2] and 66 under EU law.[1]
