Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish new safety standards and oversight rules for pasteurized donor human milk, which is used in hospitals and by families with newborns and infants. The measure would require facilities that process and distribute this milk to follow stricter safety protocols and reporting requirements to prevent contamination and ensure the product meets quality standards. This would primarily affect milk banks, hospitals, and families who rely on donor milk for infants who cannot be breastfed.
