Hello shroom folk,
As Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) have just reclassified some medicinal mushroom products as ‘novel foods’ (March 2021), we are unable to continue selling our Reishi and Lion’s Mane products with immediate effect. We’re working with our expert advisors to find out as much as we can about this change, but until FSANZ has re-assessed the status of Reishi and Lion’s Mane as a food product, we will have to cease all production of these mushrooms. We are heartbroken as this is the heart of our business.
We are extremely passionate about our 100% Australian grown medicinal mushrooms as so many mushroom products on the market today are imported from overseas. All of our products have been fully lab tested for microbiology and nutritional content and we have complete confidence that we are growing - and have always grown - a top-quality product.
Thank you so much for your support over the last seven years – it’s been an absolute blast. This isn’t the end of Milton Mushrooms, just a hiatus. In the meantime we will continue to sell our zines, prints, stickers, shirts and totes. We are also planning to supply our fully DNA sequenced cultures to those who wish to grow their own medicinal and gourmet mushrooms. We hope to see you all again soon.
For more information on this re-classification, visit https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/industry/novel/novelrecs/Documents/Record_of_views_updated_March_2021.pdf
Mush love,
Marita
