I think that you might be asking this because you think that because it contains blood as its primary ingredient that it should be banned for some reason and/or that you for some reason — probably unfamiliarity with the product — think that it is disgusting in some way?

Most Americans won't think that and not just because the largest ethnic group in America is German. Other cultures enjoy blood pudding type dishes.

You should try some of this sliced on an open-face sandwich

It is a German style blood and cow-tongue sausage. My advice is, “don't knock it until you've tried it!”. I've had better looking versions of the same — probably Dutch (look for square slices) or Polish style — but trust me, it's pretty darn good.

Black Pudding is a style of blood sausage originating in Ireland and the UK. I’ve eaten various kinds of blood sausages in the U.S. (Polish-style krupniok, Argentine morcilla, etc). I’ve also eaten Scottish-style haggis in the U.S. Good stuff!!

Since 1971, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) decreed that "livestock lungs shall not be saved for use as human food." (This technically means that if you slaughter your own pig or sheep, you may cook and eat the lungs, but you may not sell them as human food - only as pet food.) Lungs are sometimes used in irish Black pudding or French boudin noir or ti-hoeh-koe from Taiwan. The lungs are not a key incredient in Black Pudding - the blood is. As long as you’re not mixing in the lungs, you’re perfectly legal. But “haggis without the lungs” isn’t quite as good as the real thing.

(I’ve eaten sausage at a local Uzbek restaurant where sheep lungs was one of the main ingredients. Good stuff! But apparently illegal.)
