Labels of Taste

5 LABELS OF TASTE The geographic link is deeper for PDOs than for PGIs. There is, however, a third product label that has nothing to do with geography, like the two previous ones. Traditional specialities guaranteed (TSGs) are not linked to a specific geographical area. However, they contain ingredients that are those traditionally used or they result from a mode of production, processing or composition corresponding to traditional practice of decades or centuries and incorporate the history, customs and eating culture of Europeans. DOOR (Database of Origin & Registration) includes product names for foodstuffs registered as PDO, PGI and TSG. E-BACCHUS lists all wines with PDO and PGI originating in Member States and third countries. E-SPIRIT-DRINKS is the database on geographical indications protected in the EU for spirit drinks originating in Member States and third countries. Aromatized wine-based drinks constitute a separate category. THE LIST OF TRADITIONAL SPECIALITIES GUARANTEED (TSG ) INCLUDES PREPARED MEALS. s
