Donor milk for NICU infants
Donor milk for NICU infants is not a 'dish' but a vital medical nutrition product: pasteurized human milk from screened donors, specifically provided to premature or ill newborns in Neonatal Intensive Care Units when a mother's own milk is unavailable. It is sourced from certified human milk banks and processed to ensure safety.
