Biscuit platform may help candidatePosted Apr 27th 2006 3:23PM by Nicole WestonFiled under: British Isles, Baking, Food Oddities, NewspapersRichard Lochhead, a candidate in the Scottish National Party, has added a
food issue to his platform that he things will help his campaign. He has promised to fight to give Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status
to shortbread. PDO is a classification by the EU that aims to ensure that goods, if given a particular name,
originate from a single location. This would mean that the only official shortbread could come from Scots bakers, if
the biscuits were given protected status; other shortbreads would have to be described as
"shortbread-like." The Walkers bakery is a local
employer in the area Lochhead is campaigning in, so it seems like a good stand for him to take, even if shortbread is
unlikely to receive PDO status.
