Greek flag in dairy means Greek origin of milk

Greece has introduced a new regulation, published in the Official Gazette, mandating the labeling of origin on milk and dairy products. This regulation allows only products made entirely from Greek milk and dairy ingredients, or those awarded the 'Hellenic Flag' under KYA K4 7838/2014, to feature the Greek flag on their labels. Highlighted by Giorgos Kefalas, president of the Association of Cattle Breeders and Dairy Producers of Greece, this move significantly affects the yogurt production sector. It limits the use of imported cow's milk in Greek-style yogurt, potentially leading to an increase in production of local versions of the yogurt in other countries, thereby impacting Greece's exports and production.
