July 1st, 2008
BY KEITH NUTHALL
THE EUROPEAN Commission has granted 18 traditionally made European Union (EU) food products protection by adding them to EU geographical indication lists, preventing them from being copied by food manufacturers outside these products' home regions. These include Spanish marzipan 'Mazapán de Toledo'; Portuguese smoked sausage 'Alheira de Vinhais'; and Slovenská parenica, a smoked Slovak sheep milk cheese.
