animal products

From living creatures

Animal products are materials derived from animals, including meat, dairy, eggs, leather, wool, and honey.

The term appears most often in discussions of diet and ethics: Vegans avoid all animal products.

It distinguishes goods that come from animals from plant-based or synthetic alternatives.
