Dairy products or milk products are food products made from (or containing) milk.[1][a] The most common dairy animals are cow, water buffalo, nanny goat, and ewe. Dairy products include common grocery store food around the world such as yogurt, cheese, milk and butter.[4][5] A facility that produces dairy products is a dairy.[b][6] Dairy products are consumed worldwide to varying degrees.[7] Some people avoid some or all dairy products because of lactose intolerance, veganism, environmental concerns, other health reasons or beliefs.
