Food products with European Union Protected Food Name (EUPFN) status will be given new logos from the 1st January 2021 under a new UK ‘Geographical Indication’ (GI) status.
Wales currently has 16 protected food and drink products with EUPFN status including Caerphilly Cheese and Welsh Lamb which are recognised for their unique qualities by consumers across the World.
There are three UK GI logos which mark each designation of geographical indication including; Protected designation of Origin (PDO); Protected geographical indication (PGI) and Traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG).
Registered producers of these GI products will have until 1st January 2024 to change packaging over to the new UK GI logos.
