About Milk, human, mature

Mature human milk is human milk from the mature stage of lactation, distinguished from colostrum and transitional milk. It is a stage category rather than a single fixed formulation, and the name does not say whether the milk is fluid, dried, or otherwise processed.

In fluid form it is an opaque, pourable liquid, with appearance and flavour that can vary. It may be expressed and stored or processed, and the catalogue label does not establish the particular form or handling history. Those distinctions should be retained when describing samples rather than treating all mature milk as equivalent.
