alt Hacker NewsThe most disturbing is "Raw Cow Milk from Farm in Glass". It still is loaded with plastic, even though it is one of the least processed things on the list.
My only question is was the cow milked by hand or by machine? The tubing in a milking machine almost certainly contains plastic.

Many livestock feeds have some level of plastic in them.

No chance any commercially available milk is getting hand milked.

Milk is really great at extracting plasticizers from plastic. It contains natural fats and emulsifiers, after all.
I'd expect that it can pull all kinds of chemicals from the milking equipment.

Fortunately, raw cow milk is unnecessary for humans (good for baby cows though!) and easy to avoid.

It is in a glass bottle, so maybe not the greatest example: https://www.sciencealert.com/glass-bottles-actually-contain-...
Straight from the cow would be far more interesting with respect to what you are bringing up, albeit beyond the scope of the broader discussion.
