New York's Foie Gras Ban Takes Center Stage: AG James Seeks Supreme Court Ruling In a high-stakes battle over culinary traditions and animal welfare, New York Attorney General Letitia James is taking the fight against foie gras to the state's highest court. The AG's office has filed an appeal with the New York State Court of Appeals, seeking to uphold a ban on the sale and production of foie gras in New York City. The ban, which was enacted in 2019, prohibits the sale of the luxurious duck or goose liver delicacy, citing concerns over the inhumane treatment of animals involved in its production. As the case reaches its final stages, animal welfare advocates and the city's restaurants are holding their breath, awaiting a ruling that could have significant implications for the future of foie gras in the Empire State.
