chalav Akum is milk produced by an idolater(‘s amimal) and presumed to be adulterated with non kosher ingredients. This is not a common case /in certain places and times/ and so where there is not such a phenom, the milk in the general market is called chalav stam, meaning “plain milk” with no Jewish owner/supervision. With that supervision, it is chalav yisrael.
