It is the de facto extension of the protection assured at a national level by the quality brand CDO (Controlled denomination of origin) to all countries of the European Union and those covered by the GATT Agreements.
The PDO identifies products that are produced, processed and prepared in a specific geographical area, using the recognized Know-How of local producers and ingredients from the region concerned. The characteristics of these foodstuffs, which must adhere to a precise set of specifications, are deeply linked to their geographical origin.
Traditional Speciality Guaranteed - TSG - is a brand of origin introduced by the EU with the scope of protecting products of a traditional character, either in the composition or means of production, without a specific link to a particular geographical area. Thus, the focus is on products with a specificity linked to the traditional means of production and composition bound to the tradition of a particular area, but which are not strictly originated from that area.

"Ḥalāl" is an Arabic word meaning “lawful or permitted”. In reference to food, it is the dietary standard, as prescribed in the Qur’an (the Muslim scripture).

These terms are commonly used in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and food contact materials.

This certification could be applied to a wide variety of products. It is released by designated Rabbinic associations and it is indicated on the product with a specific symbol or wording which identify the certifier, Rabbi. To be certified as Kosher, a product must respect and comply with rigorous quality standards as well as all production and packaging procedures and ingredients established by Kashruth laws. The compliance with these severe rules is regularly and periodically verified and certified by professionals directly at the production site. Thus, the Kosher certification must be periodically renewed and the rigidity of these norms and precepts is an additional safeguard for end consumers, regardless of their religious belief. The Kosher certification became in time a worldwide recognized quality brand.
