Mammal lung is one of the main types of [[offal]], or pluck, alongside the [[heart]] and [[trachea]], and is consumed as a foodstuff around the world in dishes such as Scottish [[haggis]]. The United States [[Food and Drug Administration]] legally prohibits the sale of animal lungs due to concerns such as [[fungal spore]]s or cross-contamination with other organs, although this has been criticised as unfounded.<ref name=IllegalLungs>Davies, Madeline.
