Legal status of haggis

The legal status of haggis varies depending on the country. In the UK, traditional haggis containing sheep’s lungs has been restricted or banned due to health and safety regulations, though some producers have secured special or alternative exemptions. Meanwhile, in other countries, haggis is legally available without restrictions. The status often hinges on local food laws regarding ingredients and safety standards. Overall, while haggis remains a cultural delicacy in Scotland, its commercial production and sale can be subject to legal constraints based on regional food safety regulations.
