Division 3.7 Specific rules concerning labelling

The packages must display, in printed characters twice as large as for other indications, the terms PGI ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’, whilst specifying the type of onion — ‘cipollotto’, ‘cipolla da consumo fresco’, ‘cipolla da serbo’ — and the brand.

When released for consumption, adhesive (or any other type of) labels are placed on young onions and on storage onions, displaying the EU logo and the product’s brand. On the other hand, a detailed label must be placed on each bunch of fresh onions packed in crates, whatever the size of the latter, displaying the company’s business name, the EU logo, the brand and the type of product so as to guarantee its traceability and to make it perfectly recognisable.
