"the nurses had stored expressed breastmilk
in bottles or bags in a shoebox-size Rubbermaid container in the freezer
compartment of the unit's refrigerator. The hospital's Infection Control
Nurse had said that breastmilk had to be kept in a separate refrigerator. A
small refrigerator was purchased. After I did this research, I called the
Infection Control Nurse to ask for references. She told me that an OSHA
inspector thought it was disgusting to have a human secretion in a food
refrigerator"

What about storing cow secretions in a food refrigerator?
