The 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.

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.
