"Horicke trubicky" make EU list of protected food products

The Czech Republic's Horicke trubicky, or Horice rolled wafers, have been added to the EU's list of protected food products. Six other Czech products are already on the list. They include the Pohorelice carp, Budvar beer, Czech hops and the "Stramberk ears" cone-shaped gingerbread cookies. Horicke trubicky are crunchy and made from wheat pastry flour, powdered milk, vegetable oil, powdered egg yolks, sugar and water. Their producers now hope that the wafers will also be granted EU protection of geographical indications and designations of origin.
