Is donor milk safe?
The safety of each ounce of milk we dispense is always our top priority. Our commitment to the highest quality and safety of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) is demonstrated by our evidence-based standards for pasteurization and processing.
-
We employ the Holder pasteurization technique, which research indicates preserves a higher concentration of the protective immune factors found in human milk that are essential for infants.
-
Our microbiological sampling protocol involves randomly selecting a sample from each batch (after pasteurization), which is then sent to an independent, accredited third-party lab for bacteriological culture analysis prior to distribution.
-
We conduct nutritional analysis utilizing the Miris Analyzer which allows us to provide accurate nutritional content of each bottle of PDHM dispensed.
-
We are regulated and inspected as food manufacturers by the FDA and comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
