is incompatible with UK animal welfare standards.
As a Minister, she has the opportunity to ban it.
Urge her to deliver on foie gras imports.
Meet your minister – Angela Eagle MP for Wallasey
Dame Angela Eagle MP is now the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. If you live in her Wallasey constituency, urge her to support a foie gras import ban now.
Eagle has publicly acknowledged the cruelty involved in foie gras production and its incompatibility with animal welfare standards. That makes her position on this issue all the more significant – and her constituents’ voices all the more important.
“The Government shares the British public’s high regard for animal welfare and has made clear that the production of foie gras from ducks or geese using force feeding raises serious welfare concerns. Foie gras production using force feeding has been banned in the UK for nearly 20 years as it is not compatible with our animal welfare legislation.”
– Dame Angela Eagle, Parliamentary Question, 17 March 2026

The fight to end foie gras in Britain
Animal Equality is campaigning for a UK foie gras import ban. We have delivered petitions, briefed parliamentarians, and gathered evidence from inside the farms where this product is made. The cruelty is documented and undeniable.
- Ducks and geese are force-fed significant quantities of grain per day via a metal pipe inserted directly into their throats, several times a day.
- Livers swell to ten times their natural size, approximately the size of a small football. Birds often cannot stand or breathe normally by the time they are slaughtered.
- Production is already banned in the UK, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, and over a dozen other countries – yet imports remain legal under current rules.

END THE CRUELTY
Foie gras is immensely cruel. Its production causes ducks and geese severe physical and psychological pain. You can protect ducks and geese by opting for plant-based alternatives.
