Table 1:

Stability of SARS-CoV-2 in donated human milk with and without Holder pasteurization (TCID50/mL)*

Sample Unpasteurized (room temperature for 30 min) Pasteurized (62.5°C for 30 min)
A 2.0 × 105 Undetected
B 6.3 × 104 Undetected
C 6.3 × 105 Undetected
D 6.3 × 106 Undetected
E 6.3 × 105 Undetected
F 2.0 × 105 Undetected
G 6.3 × 105 Undetected
H 6.3 × 105 Undetected
I 6.3 × 105 Undetected
J 6.3 × 105 Undetected
SARS-CoV-2 alone (positive control) 6.3 × 106 6.3 × 103
Mock infection (negative control) Undetected Undetected

Note: SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, TCID50 = 50% of the tissue culture infectivity dose.
