U.S. appeals court takes foie gras off the menu in California
Chefs protested and producers promised to pursue a reversal following a ruling by a three-judge U.S. appellate court panel to allow enforcement of a 2004 California law banning the sale of foie gras. The law "has been idled for more than half of the time it has been on the books" and a state judge decided in 2015 that the state law wrongly interfered with federal food laws, said the Los Angeles Times.
