California ban on foie gras to remain, court rules
Associated Press in San Francisco
theguardian.com, Friday 30 August 2013 21.58 BST
A federal appeals court has ruled California can keep in place its ban on selling foie gras.
A Los Angeles court will still hear the case against the ban, but in its decision Friday, the ninth US circuit court of appeals expressed doubt opponents of the law would be successful.
The appeals court upheld a lower court ruling maintaining the ban while the case plays out.
The law bars state farmers from force-feeding ducks with a tube, the procedure used to produce foie gras. It also bans sales of the delicacy.
