A commodity is something sold primarily on price rather than on some characteristic of the product. Because non-organic cow's milk is pretty much the same no matter where you get it, it is sold primarily on price and is therefore considered a commodity.

Specialty milks--organic, lactose-free, flavored, from Jersey cattle--are sold on a particular characteristic of the product, so they're not commodities.
