25 Foods Banned Around The World

6. Foie Gras – California (USA), India, and more

Foie gras, a luxury pâté made from the liver of force-fed ducks or geese, faces bans in several regions due to concerns about animal cruelty. The production process, known as gavage, involves force-feeding the birds to enlarge their livers. Animal rights activists have long condemned this practice as inhumane, leading to bans in California, India, and other regions. Despite these bans, foie gras remains a controversial and prized delicacy in many parts of the world.
