Products whose sole ingredient is Foie Gras
- Whole Foie Gras: Preparation consisting of a whole foie gras or one or more lobes of foie gras and a seasoning.
- Foie Gras: Preparation consisting of fragments of foie gras lobes agglomerated with a seasoning.

Products made from Foie Gras and other raw materials
Since these preparations contain raw materials other than Foie Gras, the reference to “Foie Gras” is not permitted in the sales name. However, the reference to Foie Gras can appear, indicating the percentage of foie gras used in the composition:
- Parfait of goose or duck liver for preparations that contain at least 75% Foie Gras.
- Medallions, pâté, galantine, or mousse of goose or duck liver for preparations that contain at least 50% Foie Gras.
- A sales name completed with the mention “with goose or duck liver” for preparations that contain at least 20% Foie Gras. For example, “goose liver pâté.”
