For example, requirements in the original specification (regarding the affixing on the product of the date of production and the name of the alp and/or alpine pasture) have become unnecessary as a result of the documentation that must now be provided for the purposes of proof of origin.
The casein mark to be used has been clarified.
The affixing of this mark to the packaging of cheese portions has become unnecessary because batch traceability is guaranteed in the case of portions.
The rules on private labels set out in point 5(h) (Labelling) of the original product specification have been moved to point 4.8 (Labelling).
‘The use of private labels is permitted.
The private label must not, however, be such as to mislead the consumer or damage the good reputation of the PDO.’
Reasons Requirements concerning the management of private labels have been clarified and expanded.
Private labels will continue to be allowed.
