UK removes breast milk ice cream from shopBy CASSANDRA VINOGRAD

LONDON -- Local government officials said Monday they have confiscated ice cream made with human breast milk from a London shop amid concerns the dessert is unsafe.

A spokeswoman from Westminster City Council said it was responding to two complaints from the public over whether a shop should be selling edibles made from other people's bodily fluids and awaiting guidance from Britain's Food Standards Agency. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with council policy.

The official said the ice cream, marketed as "Baby Gaga" and launched last week, is being tested with the full cooperation of The Icecreamists, the parlor marketing the dessert.

Viruses, including hepatitis, can be passed on through breast milk.

The company has said that the milk was screened in line with blood donor requirements before being pasteurized and churned together with vanilla pods and lemon zest. The dish comes in a martini glass and sells for 14 pounds ($22.50) each.

"As far as we are aware there is no law prohibiting a business from selling breast milk ice cream," Matt O'Connor, founder of The Icecreamists, said in a statement.

The company paid women who responded to an online ad to donate their breast milk and said all of its products meet the "highest and safest" of food standards.

The company said it has had a "huge response" to its "fresh take" on the world of ice cream. The Icecreamists said at the time that its "Baby Gaga" ice cream sold out as soon as it launched on Friday, but that women had signed up to donate more milk.

Nasty....Although it's gross, it shouldn't be illegal to eat what you want as long as you know whats in it. But who would want breast milk ice cream anyways....

[okie52]

Depends on who is producing the ice cream.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Wait, did I hear you right? Did you just order a $22.50 milkshake?

[Aldebaran]

I blame nestle.

Do they have Cambodian breast milks ice cream? I only eat the finest breast milks

[NormanPride]

Cambodia is nice, but the diet in Tibet makes the breast milks taste oh-so-smoky.

[HBick]

Unsafe to eat? Maybe it's lost upon me, but if infants eat/drink it, why is it unsafe?

[NormanPride]

I think the idea is that there are a bunch of really nasty diseases that can be carried by breast milk, and no matter how good your screening process is the risk is too high.

[Mongo]

Isnt it sterile straight out the udder, kind of like urine fresh out the urethra?

It's funny people condsider human breast mile gross but breast milk from a damn cow great.

It's funny people condsider human breast mile gross but breast milk from a damn cow great.

Well that ain't really it at all. It's that the cow has to go through all kinds of strict and rigid homogenization, wipe the titties with alcohol, testing, etc.

The human milk? Prolly not so much. And FWIW, I had all the damned breast milk I could handle as a kid. Anybody who actually likes that **** (I spent a lot of years - since I had 5 kids) getting a shot of that stuff every now and then must have been a formula baby. When I suck a titty, it ain't for the milk.

[Mongo]

Have you tasted human milk? Sure there is a taboo about it, but yuck.

[KantoSooner]

Kind of like the sushi places in Tokyo that used young women's bodies as the 'plates'.
Health authorities allowed them to go on (God Bless the antidiluvian, misogynistic Japanese authorities. All you really have to do to figure them out is to imagine what a bunch of semi-alcoholic, circa 1950 male authoritarian porn/whore mongers would do....and you'll peg their position, every damn time. But I digress), but they had to cover the girls backs/bellies (yes, there were lesser/more expensive options depending on which side you were served) with saranwrap.
It was 'more hygienic'.

[StoopTroup]

That kills my idea to produce Spermcicles for the California Market more than likely.

THIS SNAPPER NIGIRI SMELLS LIKE TUNA NIGIRI!!!!

So are there going to be any job openings for alcohol swab titty-wiper?

That's because human breast milk is gross and breast milk from the cow is great.

It says here on your application that you were a dinner plate. Could you describe this position in more detail?

[soonercruiser]

I'll take two scoops in separate waffle cones.

no bourbon or nothin'

[delhalew]

A girl I used to tend bar with sprayed some of her milk in my coffee at work one day straight from the titty. That translated into some pretty good tips for both of us.

Also, I was not impressed with the taste as I like my coffee black.
