Traditional specialities guaranteed are now governed by Regulation (EU) 2024/1143 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Under this quality regime, products and foodstuffs with specific characteristics may be referred to as a traditional speciality guaranteed. The aim of this system is to preserve traditional production methods and recipes, to protect food with a traditional character and to promote its unique profile on the market.  In the Czech Republic, this issue is also regulated by Act No. 452/2001 Coll. List of registered as a guaranteed traditional specialty are publicly available in the eAmbrosia database. The procedure for inclusion in this list has two stages, national and EU.
