🇬🇧 English

This notice approves technical updates to the EU-protected product specification for Kraška panceta, a Slovenian protected geographical indication. The main practical change is a clearer storage rule: mature unwrapped products must be kept in the dark at up to 10°C, while vacuum-packed products must be stored at up to 8°C. It also updates labelling language by removing wording that is already covered by EU or national rules and adding that producers can obtain a brand mark and logo from the association. The change mainly affects producers, packers, and compliance teams handling Kraška panceta under the PGI scheme.
