Foie Gras (EDM469)

Foie Gras

EDM number 469 in 2007-08, proposed by Tobias Ellwood on 04/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Animal welfare and Food.

That this House notes that foie gras is traditionally produced by over-feeding ducks and geese by forcing metal pipes down their throats until their livers have swollen to around 10 times the normal size; recognises that the production (but not the sale) of foie gras is banned in the UK; and calls upon the restaurant trade to consider moving to new brands of faux gras which has the support of the RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming, are produced from free-range ducks and geese and do not involve any force-feeding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 94 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
