Mothers' Milk Bank of Montana Recalls Unpasteurized Human Milk

Mothers' Milk Bank of Montana is recalling frozen unpasteurized human milk because a donor received live vaccines after delivery.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences, and the hazard is a theoretical risk from live vaccine exposure rather than a confirmed pathogen or injury.
