Checks Reveal Non-Compliance with PDO Standards for Halloumi
January 6, 2025
Health officials conducted intensive checks on halloumi, which has Protected Designation of Origin status in the EU. It was found that the requirements for the percentage of goat's milk are not being met, with only 5% present instead of the required 50%. There is consideration for extending the compliance transition period until 2029, while the state faces challenges due to pressures from large interests.
