A London ice cream shop has caused a stir by offering a highly unconventional dessert: ice cream made from human breast milk. The product, dubbed "Baby Gaga," has sparked both curiosity and controversy among customers and health officials alike.
The Unusual Dessert
The ice cream, created by the Covent Garden-based parlour The Icecreamists, is made from donated breast milk, mixed with vanilla and lemon zest. The shop claims the product is "completely safe" and has been pasteurised to meet food hygiene standards.
Public Reaction
While some adventurous foodies have queued up to try the £14-per-scoop treat, others have expressed discomfort at the idea. Critics argue that the concept crosses ethical boundaries, while supporters defend it as a natural and sustainable alternative to dairy.
Regulatory Scrutiny
Westminster Council's food safety team has launched an investigation into the product. A spokesperson stated: "We need to ensure the product complies with food safety regulations, particularly regarding the sourcing and processing of the milk."
The debate raises broader questions about innovative food products and where society draws the line between creative gastronomy and ethical boundaries.
