Skim milk shows up as blue under conditions due to particle scattering of the long short wavelengths of light, similar to what colors the sky and the veins underneath skin. It certainly isn’t “bleached”.
At my last job working in the film industry I was amused to learn that real milk is rarely used on film because it isn’t perceived to be white enough. Instead they usually mix titanium dioxide powder with water. Reminded me of this classic Simpsons gag which I’m sure is funnier to folks who work in the film industry:
At that same job I worked with someone who made a prosthetic udder for a cow because the director didn’t like the look of the real udder. Hollywood is weird.

Apparently Hollywood’s unrealistic expectations for mammary glands isn’t limited to one species.

I’ve had it and it’s really good. Tastes like a melted vanilla shake.
We used to sometimes get blue milk. It was caused by the mastitis treatment the cow was getting. The dog enjoyed it.
