Hungarian Grey cattle meat under protection

The European Commission has registered the “Hungarian Grey cattle meat” into the register of protected and designations of origin geographical indications – told the Ministry of Rural Development (VM) to MTI on Wednesday.

The registration provides protection against name usurper s, as the registered name cannot be used by another EU country. Another advantage lies in the use of EU symbols, that makes the Hungarian products identifiable.

The committee has more than 1,000 registered names, among which about 120 can be found in the fresh meat category. (MTI)
