California Reinstates Foie Gras Ban

September 16, 2017: The DenverPost and specialtyfood.com:

"A federal appeals court reinstated California’s ban on foie gras Friday, finding that a state law preventing sales of the luxury liver pate made by force-feeding ducks and geese was not pre-empted by federal authority to regulate poultry products."
"The ban was passed more than a decade ago after proponents said the process of fattening the livers of the birds was cruel and inhumane. The law took effect in 2011, but was blocked by a court in 2015."
"The unanimous decision by three judges won’t immediately take effect, giving farmers and a restaurant time to seek further review."
