Not only for the reasons already stated in the article...

and
"In addition to the sheep's lung ban, the US prohibited the use of offal from the UK in the wake of the BSE outbreak in 1989."
...there's no way to "sterilize" the organs in which the Haggis is contained. The FDA will never approve it.
Now....the US citizenry CAN serve "real" haggis but it must be made on the premises in which it's served but it may not contain sheep's lung.
As stated here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8480795.stm
Perhaps if we could show a non-European origin to Haggis, then the Gods of the Copy-Book Headings might be more willing to lift the ban?
