Breast milk sold online may contain cow's milk

By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) - People who order human breast milk online for their babies may end up receiving shipments contaminated with cow's milk, according to a new study. Researchers purchased and tested 102 samples of human milk from the Internet. There was enough evidence to suggest 10 samples were contaminated with cow's milk, which may affect kids with allergies or intolerance, researchers write in the journal Pediatrics. “When you combine these results with our 2013 study that showed a high level of bacterial contamination in milk bought online, we conclude that milk purchased on the Internet is unsafe,” said Sarah Keim, the study’s lead author from The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
