How much is normally in there? And how?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago

A not-insignificant amount.

Cows will shit in the milking shed with the same frequency as they will shit anywhere else they stand. Probably a higher freqency because they are often agitated by the loud noises, and hairless apes fondling them.

The machines used to milk them are very simple pneumatic massagers hooked up to a vacuum hose. If those machines fall off, or get kicked off by an agitated cow, they will suck up whatever else they come in contact with until someone notices and comes to pick them up again or shut them off.

It is an absolutely regular occurence that cow shit gets sucked up into the lines and pumped into the milk vat. Filter socks(think a coffee filter, but the size of a poster-tube) are installed in the line before the milk vat to reduce the amount of solids that make it through, but there is always some amount of liquefied cow shit ending up in the milk.

Probably somewhere betwen 10 PPM and 100 PPM

Manufacturer: “As much as legally allowed.”

DOGE gets rid of FDA

Silly restrictions that hurt corporations.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food. Realistically, there’s going to be some no matter what food producers do.

Here’s some of the rules for basically everything but dairy. Although you might not want to read them.

Dairy is so complicated that they have a searchable database. I found a couple of numbers for bacteria counts, but it seems to be an “it varies.”

The FDA has rules for how much rodent shit or insect legs can be in your food.

And these rules are for asthetic reasons, not safety, because the processes used kills any bacteria on them already.

Sadly you can't make things 100% clean even tho it's disgusting but I think there is some limit of rat poop in foods and other things. Don't know exactly how much tho. Just what I heard don't quote me on this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is accurate - I used to work on food products in a past life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Were you ratatouille in your past life? /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

No, but it was a niche enough industry that divulging it would dox me

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I stopped drinking milk the day I learned that the FDA has a limit on the amount of puss from a burst udder blister, and it’s not 0%.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Milk has always grossed me out for weird reasons. Reading comments like this makes me glad for that.

And for anyone that has some kind of gross facts about oat milk, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT THANKS!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Wow I completely forgot about how hard they pushed the Got Milk campaign when I was a kid. Fucking weird in retrospect lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The FDA also has a non-zero limit on insects in most foods, so you're better off just growing and raising your own produce and animals.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, homegrown pus, rat shit and insect parts are much better! And who wants pasteurized milk anyway, listeria builds character

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

See that doesn’t bother me as much. I’m a Boy Scout. Bugs and soil get in your food. So be it. I’m not ok with machine-milking cows until their udders begin to repeatedly blister and pop onto the milk.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's mastitis, so more like the whole portion, internally, is filled with puss. Which needs antibiotics...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I hear it makes a hell of a latte.🤮

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Which will also have some amount of insects in them if grown outside, cause there are some things you just can't control

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Just the usual amount. I don't think we want to know.
