IGP and BGA ingredients
IGP stands for 'Indication Géographique Protégée' and BGA stands for ‘Beschermde Geografische Aanduiding’ which in the UK we know as 'Protected Geographical Indication' (PGI). Under the EU agricultural product quality policy, this "covers agricultural products and foodstuffs closely linked to the geographical area. At least one of the stages of production, processing or preparation takes place in the area." The following Belgian ingredients are those which are registered as IGP/BGA.
