So I wonder - how will this processing method be tested to compare with frozen human milk?   Since it would be a single source for nutrition - wouldn't it be subject to testing including in vivo as well as in vitro chemical testing?  Yes, I know formula has not been subjected to this scrutiny either.  Just wondering the parameters and expectations for such a product.  And what about ethical issues on both sides of the coin?   American Red Cross does not pay its donors for blood for ethical reasons.   American Red Cross has also come under scrutiny because of high operations costs and executive salaries.   Lots to think about!

I went to a presentation by Elena Medo about this new company. She has now started Medolac as a milk processing company. Her daughter is the president of a co-op of mom milk sellers and an employee of Medolac as well. (Medolac will be the sole processor for the co-op, and is hoping to get the price down to $1 an oz by processing large batches of milk). 
Since overnight/frozen shipping is the most expensive part of human milk banking, Medolac is trying to make a shelf stable bottled pasteurized human milk. She envisions this as a 'sustainable model' for providing sufficient milk for all babies who need it.
