Quebecs dairy industry group is pursuing a special geographical indication for cheese curds, the star ingredient in poutine. This designation, similar to champagne from France or Bordeaux wines, would link the product to the province. The curds must exhibit unique local traits to qualify. Industry leaders aim to preserve Quebecs food traditions and signal authenticity to international buyers. The process involves a formal request, public consultations, and yearly checks by an independent reviewer. A decision is expected by 2027.
