A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that limits California's 2012 foie gras ban.
The court in San Francisco on Friday, May 6, 2022, declined to overturn a ruling the year before that said individual Californians can order the delicacy from out-of-state producers and have it delivered. However, the product can't be produced in California or sold here by restaurants or other businesses. – Californians can buy foie gras produced out of state despite California's ban on the delicacy, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
The ruling only applies to people who buy foie gras for individual consumption. The 2012 state law still bans foie gras production in California while restaurants and retailers are forbidden to sell it or give it away. Producers argued that the force-feeding process mimicked something that happens in the wild, when ducks and geese overeat to store up extra nutrition for their long annual migration.The law was challenged by producers, including New York-based Hudson Valley Foie Gras, which said it lost nearly one-third of its total sales when the ban took effect.
In a 3-0 ruling, the appellate panel upheld the previous ruling but rejected efforts to overturn the entire law.that the ruling didn't significantly weaken the law.
