Exclusive: Fortnum & Mason to stop selling foie gras after campaign by celebrities
This news comes as the government considers a ban on the product now we have left the EU
For over a decade, Fortnum & Mason has stood against the pressure to stop selling “torture in a tin” as it remained one of the last great department stores to sell foie gras.
It has long been a contentious issue between those who see the product as a traditional luxury, and those who balk at the idea of force-feeding a duck or goose for human consumption. But now, the landmark London shop has given into campaigners and is phasing it out.
