NAICS Code 621999-37 Description (8-Digit)

Milk Banks are a type of ambulatory health care service that specializes in the collection, processing, and distribution of human milk for infants in need. These banks are typically non-profit organizations that work to ensure that premature or sick infants have access to safe and nutritious breast milk. Milk Banks follow strict guidelines for screening and testing donors, as well as pasteurizing and storing milk to ensure its safety and quality. The milk is then distributed to hospitals and families in need, often through a prescription from a healthcare provider.

History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 621999-37 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Milk banks have been around for centuries, with the first recorded milk bank opening in Vienna in 1909. The idea of milk banks spread throughout Europe and North America, with the first milk bank in the United States opening in Boston in 1919. During World War II, milk banks became more widespread as a way to provide safe and nutritious milk to premature infants. In the 1980s, the AIDS epidemic led to a decline in milk banks due to concerns about the transmission of the virus through breast milk. However, with improved screening and pasteurization techniques, milk banks have made a comeback in recent years. In the United States, the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) was founded in 1985 and has since grown to include over 30 milk banks across the country. Recent history in the United States has seen a growing demand for donor breast milk, particularly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) where premature infants are at high risk for infections and other complications. In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement recommending the use of donor milk for premature infants when mother's milk is not available. This has led to an increase in the number of milk banks in the United States, as well as the development of new technologies for milk collection, pasteurization, and distribution. In 2019, the FDA approved a new device for at-home milk collection, which could make donor milk more accessible to families in need. Overall, the milk bank industry in the United States has seen steady growth in recent years, driven by increased awareness of the benefits of breast milk and the need for safe and reliable sources of donor milk.
