ALDF Sues USDA to Label Foie Gras for What It Is -- Diseased
The Animal Legal Defense Fund filed suit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its undue delay in responding to an ALDF petition to require the labeling of foie gras.
In September 2011, ALDF filed a legal petition with the USDA and its Food Safety and Inspection Service urging that the agencies require that foie gras -- the “fatty liver” of a force-fed duck or goose -- bear a consumer warning label stating, “NOTICE: Foie gras products are derived from diseased birds.”
