Époisses cheese, a French delicacy made from raw milk, is illegal in the US due to FDA regulations banning the sale and import of cheeses aged for less than 60 days, as they have the potential to develop harmful bacteria.

While some argue in favor of raw milk cheeses and defend their production as a fixture of French society, the FDA maintains strict regulations to ensure food safety.
