Not in grade A milk. At the pickup before the truck transfers the milk into the truck, a sample is taken and if ANY undesirable result is identified by that sample the load is rejected...THE WHOLE LOAD. Then, the factory sends out he investigator BEFORE the next scheduled pickup and investigates why the bacterial count is so high and BTW, the higher the count, the less the pay. Any high count and that milk goes for cheese or some other product.
In grade B, I have seen the milk actually turning to cottage cheese in the bulk tank. That milk generally goes for cheese anyhow so it is usually used.

As for extreme dangerous bacteria, the whole load gets rejected.
Did you know, as far as ag goes, that in AZ, if an illegal immigrant is caught on the picking crews in the fields that the whole field of produce has to be destroyed?

Destroyed? Why not simply confiscated to feed the poor?
