At Life Oils, we believe in transparency.
Due to recent regulatory changes in the UK, we have made the decision to discontinue our Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) supplement with immediate effect.
In late 2025, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) classified Turkey Tail as a “Novel Food”. This means it cannot currently be sold for human consumption in the UK without formal authorisation under Novel Food regulations.
This classification is a regulatory matter based on historical consumption data prior to May 1997. It is not related to product safety.
As a responsible UK business, we always operate fully within current legislation. Although Turkey Tail remains legal to forage and may still be prescribed by qualified herbal practitioners, retail sale for human consumption is now restricted.
We know this product has been valued by many of our customers, and this was not a decision we took lightly.
Our commitment remains the same: to provide high-quality, compliant supplements that support your wellbeing.
If you have any questions, our team is always here to help.
