Heddiw mae’r Comisiwn Ewropeaidd wedi rhoi Statws Gwarant Arbenigedd Traddodiadol (TSG) i Borc o Foch Cymreig Pedigri sydd wedi’u magu’n draddodiadol. Mae nifer o gynhyrchion Cymreig wedi llwyddo i gyflawni statws gwarchodedig yr UE. Yn eu mysg y mae Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig Cig Oen a Chig Eidion Cymreig, Enw Tarddiad Gwarchodedig Halen Môn. Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig Tatws Newydd Cynnar Sir Benfro, Cregyn Gleision Conwy, Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig Ham Caerfyrddin a Dynodiad Daearyddol Gwarchodedig ac Enw Tarddiad Gwarchodedig Gwin Cymreig.   

 Yn wahanol i fwydydd ag iddynt ddynodiad daearyddol gwarchodedig, mae modd i Borc Cymreig Pedigri gael ei gynhyrchu unrhyw le yn Ewrop, cyn belled â bod yr anifeiliaid yn rhai pedigri a’u bod wedi’u cofrestru â Chymdeithas Moch Prydain neu gymdeithas debyg ar gyfer y brid. Caiff ceidwaid moch sy’n defnyddio’r dynodiad TSG eu hannog i ddod yn aelodau o’r Gymdeithas Moch Cymreig Pedigri. Bydd modd i’r Gymdeithas hon gynnig cymorth a chefnogaeth er mwyn sicrhau bod moch yn cael eu magu yn unol â’r dulliau traddodiadol, a chan gadw at safonau uchel o ran hwsmonaeth.  

 Croesawodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig, Lesley Griffiths, y cyhoeddiad. Dywedodd:  

 
> “Hoffwn longyfarch y Gymdeithas Moch Cymreig Pedigri ar fod y cyntaf yng Nghymru i ennill Statws Gwarant Arbenigedd Traddodiadol yr UE. Mae’n tystio i’r hyn yr ydym eisoes yn ei wybod \- fod Cymru’n cynhyrchu bwyd a diod o’r radd flaenaf. Mae enwau mwy a mwy o’n cynhyrchion yn cael eu gwarchod \- sy’n cydnabod ymroddiad ein cynhyrchwyr o safbwynt sicrhau ansawdd eu cynnyrch. Golyga’r statws fod cynhyrchion yn cael eu gwarchod o dan gyfraith yr Undeb Ewropeaidd.”

 Ychwanegodd Bob Stevenson, Cadeirydd Cymdeithas Moch Cymreig Pedigri a milfeddyg moch amlwg: 

 
> “Gall defnyddwyr deimlo’n gwbl hyderus yn awr wrth brynu porc Cymreig pedigri wedi’i fagu’n draddodiadol a gallant deimlo’n gwbl hyderus fod y cig wedi’i gynhyrchu mewn modd sy’n rhoi blaenoriaeth i lesiant yr anifail gydol ei fywyd.”

 Dywedodd Melanie Cargill, cynrychiolydd menter newydd sy’n ceisio datblygu’r diwydiant moch yng Nghymru: 

 
> “Mae’n glod arbennig i frid moch cynhenid Cymru a bydd yn sicr yn helpu i godi proffil porc Cymreig ymhellach. Mae siopwyr bellach yn dymuno cael sicrwydd ynghylch tarddiad y bwydydd y maent yn eu prynu ac mae’r statws hwn yn rhoi sicrwydd ychwanegol iddynt. 
> 
>  “Dim ond tri o gynhyrchion o fewn y DU sydd â Statws Gwarant Arbenigedd Traddodiadol. Mae hyn yn tystio i natur unigryw moch Cymreig.”

 Pwysleisiodd Lesley Griffiths yn ogystal y ffaith bod Llywodraeth Cymru’n awyddus i sicrhau bod enwau bwydydd gwarchodedig yn parhau i gael eu cydnabod ar ôl i’r DU adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd:

 
> “Rydym yn cydweithio’n agos â Defra, sy’n gyswllt â’r UE, er mwyn sicrhau dyfodol i enwau bwydydd gwarchodedig ar ôl i ni adael. Mae gan wledydd eraill nad ydynt yn rhan o’r Undeb enwau bwydydd gwarchodedig ac mae hynny’n gosod cynsail i’r DU ar gyfer ystyried cynllun tebyg yn y dyfodol.”

The European Commission has today awarded Pork from traditionally reared Pedigree Welsh Pigs with Traditional Specialities Guaranteed (TSG) status. It joins a number of Welsh products that have been successful in achieving EU protected status. These include PGI Welsh Lamb and Beef, PDO Halen Mȏn/Anglesey Sea Salt,  PGI Pembrokeshire early new potatoes, Conwy Mussels, PGI Carmarthen Ham and PDO \& PGI Welsh Wine. 

 Unlike geographically specific protected foods, Pedigree Welsh Pork can be produced anywhere in Europe, providing the animals are pedigree and are registered with the British Pig Association or a similar breed association. Pig keepers using the TSG designation will be encouraged to become members of the Pedigree Welsh Pig Society who will be able to offer help and support to ensure pigs are reared according to traditional methods, keeping to the high standards of husbandry. 

 The application process for TSG status began over 4 years ago with support and funding from the Welsh Government. Cabinet Secretary for the Environment and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths welcomed the announcement. She said: 

 
> “I would like to congratulate Pedigree Welsh Pig Society for gaining the first Traditional Specialities Guaranteed (TSG) EU status in Wales.  I am pleased the Welsh Government was able to assist the application with funding and support.  
> 
>  “This is further confirmation of what we already know \- Wales produces world leading food and drink.  Our Protected Food Name basket is growing, which gives recognition to the dedication of our producers to quality and it ensures their products are protected under EU law.”

 Bob Stevenson, Chairman of the Pedigree Welsh Pig Society and an eminent pig vet said:

 
> “Consumers can now be 100% certain when buying traditionally reared Pedigree Welsh pork that provenance is assured and that the meat has been produced in a way that has prioritised the well\-being of the animal throughout its entire life.”

 
> “This is a great accolade for Wales’ native pig breed and one that will help further elevate the profile of Welsh pork”, says Melanie Cargill, representative of a new initiative to develop the pig industry in Wales. “Shoppers are increasingly looking for assurance when it comes to their food purchases and this gives discerning customers that something extra.”

 
> “Being only the third TSG awarded in the UK, it really demonstrates how unique the Welsh pig is.”

 Lesley Griffiths also spoke of the Welsh Government’s intention to ensure Protected Food Names continue to be recognised after the UK leaves the European Union:

 
> “We are working closely with Defra, who act as the link to the EU, to ensure a future for protected food names when we leave Europe. There are other countries outside of Europe with protected food names and this sets a precedent for the UK to consider a similar reciprocal scheme in the future.”
