'Home of Foie Gras' Bans the Pâté from Official City Events

Catherine Walbridge, 26.11.2021

Strasbourg, the home of the EU Parliament, is to ban foie gras from city events, sparking a backlash from producers of the controversial delicacy.

The Strasbourg Mayor Jeanne Barseghian, who is part of the Europe Ecology Greens party, confirmed her decision to stop serving the pâté at all official city events. Foie gras is made from the livers of ducks and geese who are force-fed, a practice animal rights activists have condemned as cruel and inhumane.
