Products join post-Brexit scheme created to protect British foods, which is not recognised in EU
The UK has added a breed of Welsh lamb and watercress to its new protected food category scheme, set up to protect regional British foods after the UK departed a similar European scheme post-Brexit.
Other famous British products such as Melton Mowbray pork pies, Cornish pasties and wensleydale cheese were protected from imitation under the EU scheme, which offered global recognition.
