New Study Shows Pasteurization Neutralizes Coronavirus in Breast Milk

In Australia, a total of five milk banks for human milk exists. Even with the COVID-19 viral pandemic, these banks continuously provided breast milk for premature infants who have no access to breast milk. The milk donors are routinely screened for the presence of diseases, and their milk is lab tested and sterilized to ensure safety for their fragile recipients. The research was recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics & Child Health.
