    I wonder if that would end up being illegal. I know that if you’re aware that someone is eating/drinking your stuff, you can’t put anything in it that might harm them, including laxatives or excessively hot spices (people have sued and won for that). But breast milk shouldn’t be harmful.

      In terms of blood-borne viruses (like HIV and hepatitis), breast milk is considered in the same risk category as semen or vaginal secretions, only blood is higher. Whereas piss and shit are only considered a risk if they contain blood. Obviously there’s other reasons why you don’t want shit in your food, but it probably won’t give you anything really nasty and long-lasting. Piss it’s pretty much totally safe, but I reckon you could still get in trouble for secretly feeding it to someone.

      Not sure, but OSHA will have a problem with an imporerly labeled container.

      Edit, thinking about it. You probably would have a solid case - especially if there are damages. Some else said it’s like putting sprem in food, but I think blood would be a better comparison [citation defintaly needed].

      The theif could simply be allergic to something in her milk that’s not in the creamer. If the woman, unknowingly or not, had any sickness that can spread via breast milk, her leaving that in the creamer container where anyone could drink it is very bad. It could spread from the “theif” to their spouce, who spreads it to the mail man.

      Don’t leave breast milk in a unlabeled container, public fridge or not.

        So… hypothetically… I make my own lunch and bring it to work. It has peanuts. And perhaps some flu virus I’m carrying. You steal it and eat it. You get sick.

        And… I’m* somehow responsible?

        It’s unreasonable to think you can steal things out of open containers and expect “proper labeling”.

          it depnds of if she left her breast milk in away that reasonable could think it was for everyone in the office and not her private creamer.

    Haha! You thought this was breast milk from a different species than you, but it was actually the same! Take that!

    I’ve heard it actually doesnt taste bad. I’d be unsettled by where it came from though.

    I bet that’s illegal to knowingly feed to someone. I get why you’d do it. I bet it’s a bluff anyway.
