Legal to eat, but not legal to sell, so restaurants can't serve it.

Foie gras, the fattened liver of duck or goose, is no longer illegal to have in California, as long as the product is comes from an out-of-state seller and is transported by a third party, according to a ruling from a federal judge today, reports the Associated Press.
Update: the ruling determines that, “Of course, once the foie gras reaches California, it cannot be resold within the state,” which seems to imply that restaurants would not be allowed to sell foie gras on their menus, despite earlier reporting that it was allowed. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra’s office is reviewing the ruling.
And the

The ruling doesn’t change the stakes in restaurants: California businesses still can’t sell foie gras. Chefs also can’t give it away as a free “gift,” according to a 2019 ruling against Napa restaurant La Toque, a major proponent of the fatty liver.
