Animal welfare: Many people have misconceptions about animal welfare for foie gras production it is important to note that within our Hungarian facilities the animals are traditionally placed in collective park. Hungary is among the pioneers of this method. This major advantage for animal welfare responds to the recent recommendations advocated by the European Council. Directive 98/58/CE of European Council, July 20th 1998, regarding animal protection in breeding.
History and Tradition: The ancient Egyptians learned that many birds could be fattened through forced overfeeding. The goose fattening practice spread from Egypt to the Mediterranean. In the 60’s the supply in the French market enjoyed a new boom and eventually became stronger by increasing the demand and interest for goose Foie Gras.
