# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/506 of 26 March 2018 entering a name in the register of traditional specialities guaranteed (‘Pražská šunka’ (TSG)), Division 4.3.3: Tinned ‘Pražská šunka’

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Tinned ‘Pražská šunka’ is another variant of the original ‘Pražská šunka’ which came into being after the end of the Second World War. It was also produced using sorted raw materials from the boning of chilled fresh pork legs, with the addition of nitrite curing mix, sugar and gelatine; in order to achieve a longer shelf life, it was sterilised in egg-shaped packaging at a weight of 1 lb. The commercial success of the tinned ham was due to a very large extent to the proportion of aspic in the finished product. Tinned ‘Pražská šunka’ has been produced since 1973, mainly by meat industry plants in Kostelec, Krahulčí and Studená. Since 1989, this variant has also been produced at other sites across the entire Czech Republic.
