GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR PGI

Scottish Government Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead has added his support saying:“In order to enhance our reputation at home and abroad we need to protect the high quality and authenticity of Scotland’s larder.

“The Lorne Sausage should enjoy protected status as a famous Scottish food, and I fully support this application to give customers reassurance they are getting the genuine article.

“The Scottish Government has organised a seminar in December on Protected Food Names and stands ready to support potential applicants, in order to protect our internationally renowned food and drink from inferior imitations.”
