Well if you go by FDA’s Title 21 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 131 Subpart B then not only is human milk not a dairy product but the only animal who produces milk is a cow, however in 2018 they requested submissions weighing in on whether plant products should continue to use “dairy group” words such as milk and yogurt on their labeling, so I think there is probably some leeway on this.
Human milk certainly contains Lactose and Whey Protein.
But is it a dairy product?
I just gave you a pretty succinct definition of Dairy. Yes.
Google shows conflicting answers and the Wikipedia page doesn’t list human milk.
And we all know how trustworthy Google Search is…
Not actually using Google, just using it as a generic term for search.
