" I am wondering whether the milk samples that
were contaminated with pathogens (in the references provided by Nancy
Wight), had been pasteurized, possibly before the contamination was
introduced."

There was little to no pasteurization of EBM in the 70s-80s in NICUs. The
contamination was usually from the breast pump or the way the milk was
handled.
