A company cannot process raw placentas for new mothers to eat, after a judge ruled it posed a "health risk".
The Independent Placenta Encapsulation Network (IPEN), based in Hertfordshire, makes smoothies and capsules that it claims have health benefits.
Dacorum Borough Council prevented IPEN from trading in October last year over concerns about bacterial contamination.
After the ruling at Watford Magistrates' Court, IPEN said it was "not the end of the line" for the firm.
