Appeals Court Revives California Foie Gras Ban

A federal appeals court on Friday revived a California law banning the sale of foie gras in the state.

Canada’s Association des Eleveurs de Canards et d‘Oies du Quebec, New York’s Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Los Angeles’ Hot’s Restaurant Group had challenged the California law, which barred the sale of products made from force-fed birds.
