Milk from a kosher animal which has treif status is no less a transgression than pig’s, horse’s or camel’s milk, and USDA is totally uninterested in the presence, abundance, or even totality of milk from such a cow in the carton we buy. Of course under proper conditions it is nullified – so is pig’s milk, so is blood – and of course halachot bitul are very serious stuff and denying them is apikores, and in addition there are other leniencies, such as relying on the majority. This does not mean people should make light of those who point out problems, especially given that, as others pointed out, there are so many CY products available.
