Susan,

This happened once in our hospital.  I was the one who noticed it and
brought it to the attention of the head doc.  The next day, there were
notices pasted all over the dept. that the company that produced the milk (
said company had contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a new
NICU) said that it was ok to use the milk for another 3 months.  I looked up
on the site of that company about expiration dates and it clearly stated not
to use the milk if:

1.	the expiry date had passed
2.	the milk looked brownish ( it did)
3.	it seemed to have pieces floating on top ( it did)



I can't remember what happened after that as I was leaving for a trip to the
states.  I did alert friends in the Health Ministry about it.  By the time
they sent people to check it, the bottles had disappeared ( probably given
to moms to take home).  I also warned parents to check expiry dates if
something other than breast milk went into the mouths of their babies.  I
had already gotten in trouble in the hospital for telling the truth, so I
had to be super careful.
