My milk mama donor donates to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics milk collection service. She says they take her frozen milk . I know they have to pasteurize and otherwise process the milk. But as we all know once the milk is thawed it doesn't stay good forever. Does processing the milk in the milk banks after thawing it "render" it a longer stability? Can milk-bank processed milk even be refrozen? I thought I saw a picture of this on a website describing our own milk collection depot here in Wisconsin: http://www.mothersmilkwi.org/photos_stories.php

See that processed donor milk in the fridge??? It had been obtained from previously frozen "unprocessed" milk!

Any answers would be appreciated! I am a very curious person.

HMBANA and other regulated banks accept prescreened mums frozen unpasteurized milk, thaw it, test it, group it together with multiple donors milk, pasteurize it and freeze - ship and thawed when used Very Happy
