Baby Gaga ice cream made from human milk

March 3, 2011

What the heck? Was my first reaction to this! I’m sure it’s healthy but I’m not sure how I can get over the gross factor. Is it possible to have so much breastmilk that you have extra to sell? I have no idea…but from the few moms I’ve talked to they have a hard time meeting the supply that their babies need as it is. Hmmm… I hope that the women are not using up their breastmilk for this instead of their babies.  Thoughts anyone?  Article after the jump! 

At £15 for every 10 ounces, you could certainly say they’re milking it for all it’s worth.

A central London ice-cream parlour has started selling ice-cream made with human breast milk. The Icecreamists in Covent Garden, London, have named their unusual delicacy Baby Gaga.

The treat is made by mixing breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. The milk has been donated by women who were paid £15 for every 10 ounces of their bodily fluid.

The dessert is offered up in a martini glass to those daring enough to try it for £14. Liquid nitrogen is also poured into the glass using a syringe.

Despite its unusual ingredient, the company said the “organic, free-range and totally natural” product sold out when launched today.

“The response has been amazing. People at first say it’s disgusting because it’s a bodily fluid, but so is cow’s milk,” said owner Matt O’Connor. “People love it when they try it.”

The company paid women who donated their breast milk after health screening. The Food Standards Agency says there are no specific laws prohibiting businesses from selling human milk products, but they must comply with general food safety laws to ensure the product is safe for consumption.

    Hummmmm. I don’t think I want to try that ice cream. It’s interesting that someone came up with making it. I wonder how long people will be interested in the ice cream made out of breast milk. I guess that they are successful in a sense that they got media attention!

    Lol. That is interesting. I’ve heard it before but it’s the first time I saw that picture…makes me puke. I mean yeah sure I can drink my own milk but anyone else’s? We’re not babies anymore. However, it’s a different story if you ask a guy’s opinion.
