No reductions of pus content in milk

You should know by now that pasteurized, homogenized, conventional milk contains a certain degree of pus. Unfortunately, a National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments(NCIMS) committee had a chance to reduce the amount last year but voted against it. The proposed new measures that would have reduced the maximum allowable pus cell count in conventional milk from 750,000 cells per millimeter to 400,000. The decision, which benefits large-scale milk production operations, will result in the continued processing and sale of pus-filled milk, which is the result of infections and diseases that commonly afflict conventional milking cows.
