My turtle eats it when I feed him worms (it sticks to them), and seems very healthy so far. But just to be safe, i wouldn't let him eat allot. I would think that they wouldn't sell a substrate for reptiles that would harm them. The fact is, they will probably ingest whatever substrate you use to some degree.
Sphagnum moss does not have the ability to "eat" in the way animals do. Instead, it obtains nutrients from the environment through its leaves, which can absorb essential minerals and water from the surrounding soil and air. The moss also relies on symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi to help it obtain nutrients.

Sphagnum moss grows mainly in Canada, US in Wisconsin, New Zealand, Japan and China. In North America at one time the sphagnum plant covered most of the northern hemisphere, but was killed as glaciers scraped deep into the earth as it moved south. Long fibered sphagnum moss is the tan/brown-colored perennial plant that still exists today in the US in harvest-able quantities only in the central counties of Wisconsin (Jackson and Monroe counties). It takes 5-10 years to grow back depending on the severity of the winters and the length of time that the plant is under water during the summer growing season. Sphagnum peat moss is the dead and decaying sphagnum plant. It is not renewable and is normally cut from the earth. Large sphagnum peat harvesting areas are in Michigan and Canada. Long fibered sphagnum plants are destroyed before or during the peat harvest process. Peat moss can be any type of decayed plant life, not just sphagnum.
