I have wondered about this for a while.... Why doesn't this translate
into an issur of chalav haneelam min ha'ayin?

For example, say my office-mate buys CY and leaves it in the company
kitchen fridge, as a service for his CY-drinking co workers. (Not really
a service, in the real world we all take our turns.) The milk is left
unattanded. Why is that milk still CY when I take some?

Tir'u baTov!
