No animal products
A vegan abstains from all animal products—not just meat, but also dairy, eggs, honey, and leather.
The term covers both the diet and the broader lifestyle philosophy, which typically emphasizes animal welfare and environmental concerns.
She went vegan three years ago.
As an adjective: vegan cheese, vegan leather.
Compare vegetarian, which permits some animal products.
