The seizure of breast milk icecream from a central London restaurant has caused panic among breastfeeding mothers across the Capital.
As news spread that both the Health Protection Agency and the Food Standards Agency were unconvinced that breast milk was fit for human consumption, many anxious mothers have vowed to stop breastfeeding until the matter is resolved.
"We want to be given the means to pasturise our milk at the very least," said an increasingly ample-bosomed Sally Shields from Kensington. "Even then we can't be sure it won't harm the baby. The breastmilk in the icecream had been pasturised hadn't it, but they still withdrew it - God knows what's in this stuff!"
The Department of Health has issued advice to mothers to refrain from breastfeeding until further tests have been carried out. Meanwhile mothers should revert to the decidedly less ikky method of using milk obtained by suckling on the undulating teat of a random cow.
