         34 . The pasteurized human milk composition of  claim 32  comprising about 21 to about 40 mg/mL of human milk protein. 
     
     
         35 . The pasteurized human milk composition of  claim 32  comprising about 2.2 to about 4.4% human milk protein. 
     
     
         36 . The pasteurized human milk composition of  claim 32  comprising about 4 Cal/ounce. 
     
     
         37 . The pasteurized human milk composition of  claim 32  wherein said human milk composition is screened for HIV1, HIV2, HTLVI, HTLVII, HBV, HCV, syphilis and/or  B. cereus . 
     
     
         38 . The pasteurized human milk composition of  claim 32  comprising monomeric IgA, secretory IgA, lysozyme and lactoferrin.
