A woman from Wiltshire who makes smoothies from human placenta – blended with berries and banana – is being investigated by public health officials.
Kathryn Beale produces the drinks for new mothers, who supply her with their own placenta.
She insists the smoothies are safe and argues that eating placentas has many health benefits.
But when council officials heard about Beale’s business, they sought an emergency prohibition order. She has voluntarily stopped making smoothies pending a visit from officials to inspect hygiene standards.
