	SCADPlus: Agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed
		Where reference is made to a traditional speciality guaranteed on the labelling of an agricultural product or foodstuff produced within the Community, the registered name is to be accompanied either by the Community symbol or the indication "traditional speciality guaranteed".
		In such cases, it is not permitted to indicate "traditional speciality guaranteed", the abbreviation "TSG", or the associated Community symbol on the labelling.
		Traditional specialities guaranteed (TSGs) - this designation is not a reference of origin but aims to bring added value to a product made from traditional ingredients or a mode of traditional production.

	Protected designation of origin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI) and Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) are geographical indications defined in European Union Law to protect regional foods.
		Following an agreement during the 1990s by the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation, and the Australian and EU governments, the others' GIs and the nations' traditional terms of winemaking were meant to have been protected by 1997.
		Ideally, protected designation of origin is both a consumer protection measure and a way of protecting producers of a region's traditional and/or characteristic foods.

		In some areas of Italy that are particularly on-the-ball, such resources are already synonymous with cultural identification, economic and social development and environmental preservation and characterization, and indeed translate, put briefly, into good employment prospects and better quality of life.
		The traditional nature of products is not defined by any specific geographical area, indeed products can be produced anywhere in Europe, as long as they are produced to the registered specification.
		TSG status makes no reference to territorial origin, and is reserved for those products in which traditional composition, a production method established by custom and specific characteristics deserve to be valorized throughout the European Community.

		Food products that are “typical” or “regional” find their place in the history and the productive tradition of many European countries, and especially of Italy.
		Moreover, in the case of PDO, the qualities and the characteristics of the product have to depend on the original geographical environment, while with PGI only the link between the reputation of the product and the area of origin could be needed.
		In order to have such recognition, “…an agricultural product or foodstuffs has to be produced by using traditional raw materials or have a traditional composition or have gone through a traditional method of production and/or processing”.
