Wolfgang Puck, the Los Angeles chef whose culinary empire ranges from

celebrity dinners at Spago to a line of canned soups, said yesterday

that he would use eggs and meat only from animals raised under strict

humane standards.

 

With the announcement, Mr. Puck has joined a small group of top chefs

around the country who refuse to serve foie gras, the fattened liver

of ducks and geese. But Mr. Puck, working with the Humane Society of

the United States, has taken his interest in animal welfare beyond ducks.
