What happened
An ordinance has been proposed for Denver voters to decide in November whether to ban the production and sale of foie gras. The measure, Initiated Ordinance 311, would prohibit the sale and production of the delicacy when force-feeding is involved. If approved, the ban would take effect in July 2027.

Why it matters
The proposal targets a specific food product, which is currently served by 16 restaurants in Denver. While the city does not currently have foie gras-producing farms, the ordinance would prevent any from opening in the future. Enforcement would be managed by the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment.
