Baby Gaga is an ice cream which is made from human breast milk. Their is disagreement about the origin of the flavors name. Lady Gaga believes the flavor was named after her and has threatened to sue the creators of the ice cream flavor, while creator Matt O’Connor insists it was a play on the words spoken by infants and refuses to change the flavors name. The ice cream was invented by Matt O'Connor founder of The Licktators London, a company which makes controversial flavored ice cream, including a flavor the includes “female viagra” infused flavor know as Vice Cream. O’Connor claims it is a healthy alternative to other ice creams in the bar.[2] The ice cream was originally sold exclusively in The Icecreamists, in Covent Garden, London. The ice cream went on sale on 25 February 2011. Within a week of going on sale, the ice cream was seized by officers of Westminster Council to test whether it was suitable for human consumption. The Lickators company partnered with breast feeding advocate Victoria Hailey to relaunch the Baby Gaga flavor in 2015. Hailey, has said that the re-launch of the flavor was done to commemorate the birth of the duke and duchess of Cambridge’s second child, Princess Charlotte. Hailey, said that the re-release gives her the opportunity to reach more people with her breastfeeding platform and "reminds the Duchess of Cambridge, and mothers around the country, of the benefits of breastfeeding.” The ice cream flavor is available in select stores throughout London and the packaging features the duchess of Cambridge on the front. According to the Licktators website a part of the profits from each tub purchased will be donated to a breast feeding charity.

The eatery pays 15 pounds ($24) for every 10 ounces of milk. At least 15 mothers have volunteered to donate their breast milk. The breast milk donors have been medically screened and the milk pasturised. Donors also have to meet hospital/blood donor requirements. The milk is then flavored with vanilla and lemon zest.

First Step: • ½ cup breast milk • ½ teaspoon vanilla • 1 tablespoon sugar • 4 cups crushed ice • 4 tablespoons salt • 1 standard-sized coffee can • 1 economy-sized coffee can • Hand towel or gloves (to protect your fingers) Second Step: Once the milk has been cooked and mixed up with the ice cream, it is believed that all bioactive ingredients in the milk are decayed. Also the milk has to be pasteurized so that it doesn't contain bacteria.

The U.S. FDA is a bit leery of using "donor human milk." On its website, it explains why: Risks for the baby include exposure to infectious diseases, including HIV, to chemical contaminants, such as some illegal drugs, and to a limited number of prescription drugs that might be in the human milk, if the donor has not been adequately screened. In addition, if human milk is not handled and stored properly, it could, like any type of milk, become contaminated and unsafe to drink.

Still, the FDA isn't categorically against sharing breastmilk. It points people to the Human Milk Banking Association of North America as a good source of information and possible contacts.

Lady Gaga has in fact heard about the breast milk ice cream, ‘Baby Gaga,” and has threatened the London ice cream owner, Matthew O’Connor, and his company, The Licktators, with a lawsuit in hopes to get her name removed from the tite. Gaga described the product as "nausea-inducing,” as she first heard about the human made breast-milk based ice cream that O’Connor is promoting. As Gaga immediately wanted to bring law authorities into the picture, she was soon to realize that the breast-milk based ice cream was taken off the market due to health hazards and concerns.

Gaga wants fans to know that she does not support the breast-milk based product, claiming the flavor composes a trademark violation on the name “Gaga” and will confuse consumers into thinking she supports the ice cream.

As of dated Aug. 10 (2015), lawyers representing Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, have ordered The Licktators to remove all marketing and social media posts featuring the Baby Gaga ice cream by Aug. 25. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coreysanders (talk • contribs) 15:56, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
