RESUMO

Human milk is free of contaminants and full of nutrients, and should remain so until consumption. However, sanitary conditions during collection and storage of milk donated to human milk banks can lead to soiling and contamination of microorganisms from the hands or the environment of the donor. The aim of this study was to assess the sanitary quality of 76 samples of human milk of Human Milk Bank in Taubaté, SP and trace the socio-economic and environmental of 27 donors registered in the Human Milk Bank, as well as hygienic practices and health during the collection and storage of milk. Microbiological analysis showed that 100% of the samples were contaminated with total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms, and 30 samples (39.48%) showed total coliform counts for most of 2400 MPN/mL and 4 samples (5.27%) had scores for thermotolerant coliforms above 2400 MPN/mL. Samples with a lower rate of microbiological contamination were from donors with higher educational level. Most donors considered to be white, catholic, born in the State of SP and work outside the home. All received pre-natal, and most use the private network of health, had a cesarean section and choosing to have fewer children. All have basic sanitation services in their homes. The microbiological analysis results showed that the improper sanitary standards for the collection and handling of raw human milk predispose to microbial contamination of milk.
