Magen David Adom warned against unsupervised breast milk that came from abroad, which could endanger the lives of babies, according to a statement released by the health organization.
The Magen David Adom National Mother's Milk Bank learned that this morning's coolers of breast milk arrived in Israel from countries abroad without the milk being tested and it could endanger the lives of babies and even cause death.Since the beginning of the war, the MDA milk bank has been providing breast milk to babies who need it: babies who were orphaned, whose mothers were kidnapped or injured, or babies whose mothers were recruited into the IDF.
Health Ministry guidelines state that only milk from the National Breast Milk Bank, that meets strict supervision conditions, passes all the required tests and processes, and is provided as part of an emergency activity for needy babies, is safe to feed.
