23.2.2.5 After the temperature of the monitored control bottle has reached 62.5°C, the heat treatment continues for 30 minutes, maintaining the temperature, and then ends immediately. Fluctuation during the heating process may be seen for short periods of adjustment, where heat may briefly fluctuate between 62° and 64.5°C.
23.3.2 Following heat processing, the milk is rapidly cooled to 4°C (39°F) using either the processing equipment manufactured to cool milk, or ice baths. If using ice baths for cooling, water source must be of adequate sanitary quality and the ice-creating equipment must be maintained per manufacturer's instructions. (NOTE: Unless using caps and equipment designed for submersion, caps need to remain above water level to prevent possible contamination from water seepage.)
23.6.1 Any bacteriological growth in unacceptable for heat-processed milk. Individual milk banks have the microbiology Standards of Practice (SOP) available in their banks, distributed by Human Milk Bank Association of North America (HMBANA). Individual milk banks ensure that the microbiology lab performing the testing is in compliance with the procedures.
