U.S. ends ban on French foie gras
PARIS (Reuters) - The United States has lifted an
eight-month ban on the import of French foie gras,
hams and other luxury cold meats, the French Agriculture
Ministry says.

The ban was imposed in February after several meat
plants failed U.S. inspections, prompting angry French
demands for proof that its facilities were not up to standard.

anytime soon.
