If the allowed amount was “literally none” then the cost of adherence and monitoring would make milk too expensive to produce or it would be poorly enforced and nothing would be different. The same is true for insect parts, rat hair, and other contaminents in literally all processed food. Perfect cleanliness simply isn’t possible, and you’ll never notice anyway.
This. This is why there’s an episode of Bob’s Burgers about their daughter lying at school about the funeral parlor next to the burger shop and her dad’s food having corpses in it and the FDA investigating the restaurant because it potentially had more than 0.4% (?) of human flesh content. Why any at all? At such a small amount it’s impossible to detect, completely safe to consume, and would be well less than a single finger in literal tons of hamburger. It’s gross, but you’ll be fine just like you have so far.
That, and farmers have to drink milk too; if there was pus in the milk, they’d care enough to do better, and they do because that’s why we give cows antibiotics sometimes.
Now, if the government decides to loosen all those regulations, THEN I’ll be worried.

Not to actually argue against your point (nor to conflate this cartoon scenario with real-life regulations), but 0.4% would be way more than just one human finger in literal tons of hamburger. 0.4% of one ton would be 8 pounds / ~4 kilograms. I don’t know how many human fingers that is, but I’m certain it’s significantly more than one.
Well, mastitis is very common in an animal that consistently lies on dirt to rest. And when you think about it, pus is nothing more than immune cells and their secretions fighting bacteria, but it’s diluted to the point what it’s negligible.
On the other hand, coprophagia is also inevitable and part of everyday life but nobody curls their upper lip at that! Lol
But yeah, studying microbiology changes people. *twitches*
I haven’t been able to drink milk since I discovered that the FDA allows a certain amount of pus in each carton.

Okay, to be fair, I can’t math. Sorry about that. Just curious, how much is 0.4% in, say, a pound?
Never mind, I guess I’ve got a smartphone for a reason. “6.4 ounces”. Thanks for correcting me. :)

Bobs burgers was originally going to be about the family feeding people to customers.
Wait, is that actually true?

Oof, okay. Not much else for me to say, I guess.
Wanna hear how many rodents crap on your vegetables in warehouses throughout the US before the get loaded in trucks?
I’d advise against learning about how any other food or drink is prepared in that case. It’s more gross than un-gross across the board.
