Foie gras means, in English, literally, fatty (foie) liver (gras), and describes the liver of a goose or duck intensively fed (and legally, in France and some other countries, force-fed) with corn in order to produce an enlarged liver with a particularly delicate flavor and texture.
It is prepared from fatty liver (disease) of ducks and birds that filled with harmful fats that lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke in human. Foie gras can cause serious diseases: 1-Because of animals suffer, a lot of toxins (oxidants) are released in their body and by eating meat or tissues of suffered animal these toxins can be transmitted to human body and consequently lead to cancer. 2-these birds are neglected and infected and their liver is filled with harmful fats that lead to cardiovascular disease and stroke in human.
So as a customer please do not select the foie gras in the menu of restaurants.

It's generally recommended to avoid eating foie gras during pregnancy due to the risk of foodborne illnesses, such as listeriosis, which can be harmful to both the mother and the developing fetus. Foie gras is often served undercooked or raw, increasing the risk of bacterial contamination. Additionally, it is high in fat and may not be the healthiest option during pregnancy. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.
Foie gras comes from ducks or geese, specifically from the livers of ducks or geese that have been fattened by force feeding. The practice of force feeding is highly controversial, and several countries, including Germany, Italy and Poland, have banned the practice, although foie gras is still permitted to be imported and sold in those countries. In 2012, California banned both the production and sale of foie gras.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as it varies by country and production methods. However, in traditional foie gras production, ducks are force-fed to fatten their livers, resulting in the deaths of many ducks each week. Alternative practices that do not harm the ducks, such as ethical foie gras, are being developed to address these concerns.
"French duck liver" in French is "foie gras de canard français."
