Kashrut and Parenteral nutrition

Hey guys, Nurse here. I just noticed our TPN bottles have hechshers on them. The ingredients list “Milk and Soy ingredients.”

Would this render you milchig? I mean if you need TPN I doubt you’ll be eating any meat anytime soon, but I’m just curious.

Also, some of them were kosher and some were not. So I guess, C”V, if you ever need it see if they can get you the kosher one.

That leads me to another question. What ingredients would render it treif in the first place? I am no expert on the manufacturing of TPN but I believe it’s just lipids, electrolytes, amino acids, minerals etc. The most basic nutrients. Anyway, just curious about it.
