Scottish Farmed Salmon has held Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) since 2004.
PGI is awarded by the European Commission and is an initiative which protects and promotes the designation of a quality food or farmed product, linked to the name of a region, a specific location or, in exceptional cases, that of a country.
To hold PGI, Scottish salmon farmers must comply with the criteria laid down in a specification approved by the European Commission and controlled by an independent Certifying Body, Food Certification International Ltd.
