strict vegetarians

No animal products

Strict vegetarians are people who eat no animal flesh or animal products whatsoever—no meat, fish, dairy, eggs, or honey.

The term distinguishes them from vegetarians who might still consume eggs or dairy.

Now more commonly called vegans: As strict vegetarians, they had to read every label carefully.
