Status: Existing state + city law; preemption pending in Senate via Save Our Bacon (Sec. 12006 of H.R. 7567)
California's foie gras production + sale ban (Health & Safety Code §§ 25980–25984, signed 2004 by Schwarzenegger, took effect 2012; CA's only foie gras farm closed) and NYC's 2019 foie gras ban (upheld by NY Appellate Division on March 12, 2026) would both be voided if Save Our Bacon clears the Senate. The fight to defend them is the same fight as Save Our Bacon — same vote, different lens.
The ask:Defend state authority over foie gras production and sale. Vote NO on Save Our Bacon / any Farm Bill containing preemption.
