Original Note:
Milk does not contain pus. Cows with mastitis have their milk discarded. Somatic cell counts (SCC), which include immune cells—not pus—are strictly regulated (US: 750k SCC/mL; EU: 400k SCC/mL). Excess SCC milk is excluded, and pasteurization ensures milk safety. https://extension.psu.edu/what-is-mastitis-costing-you#:~:text=The%20largest%20cost%20of%20clinical,make%20your%20farm%20more%20profitable.
