Cumberland sausage has been successful in its bid to be made only in Cumbria.
It now ranks alongside the likes of Champagne, Parma ham and Greek feta cheese in having Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status under EU law.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the move would guarantee its heritage and be a major boost for Cumbria's butchers.
Other protected UK food and drink products include Cornish clotted cream and Stilton cheese.

I recently saw a clip about this on the news. I like that they "protect" the integrity of food products. Good on them!
