Breast milk has a price, and it varies from country to country.
In France, “the selling price of human milk collected and processed in lactariums is set at €80 per liter for fresh or frozen milk and €133 per 100g for freeze-dried milk”. Source Légifrance
This corresponds to the various costs associated with processing: collection, research, pasteurization, etc., which require personnel and equipment.
However, this is a cost linked solely to the treatment, as French law prohibits the sale of breast milk and strongly advises against donation without going through a breast milk donation bank.

It’s been said that breast milk is white gold in terms of its nutritional qualities and many virtues, and you’re the source!
Here we’re celebrating 70 months of breastfeeding, and thanks to the American Breastfeeding Calculator, I know I’ve produced 848L of breast milk for an estimated value of €84,780. How wonderful!
So if you’d like to know your white gold figure too, go to https://mothersmilktool.org/#/individualcalculator and feel free to share it with pride!
