Label Rouge is an official endorsement of the superior quality of a food or farmed product.
In 1992, Scottish salmon was the first fish and the first foreign product to obtain the prestigious Label Rouge quality mark granted by the French Ministry for Agriculture.
Label Rouge is awarded to products of superior quality, particularly in relation to taste.
In 2004, Scottish salmon obtained Protected Geographical Indication status (PGI) granted by the European authorities.
PGI is awarded to a product or a food with strong links to its geographical origin.
Label Rouge and PGI – dual recognition of the superior quality and the origin of Label Rouge Scottish salmon.
