The FDA USDA bans all food containing lungs on the grounds that stomach acid or other fluids might enter the lungs during slaughter. Nevermind the fact that the Scots have never had that be a problem with traditional haggis (which includes sheep lungs).
But yeah our regulations are absolute crap compared to European ones, and you can tell by comparing the number of chemicals on American versus European packaging.
Interestingly enough american hagis uses stomach as a substitute for lungs. Wich i guess does not come in contact with stomach acids.
But you are correct that there is a ban on lungs for human consumption. So american haggis is not real haggis. Also no lamb lung soup for yanks eaither.
