'''Dairy products''' or '''milk products''' are food products made from (or containing) [[milk]]. The most common dairy animals are [[cow]], [[water buffalo]], [[goat|nanny goat]], and [[Sheep|ewe]]. Dairy products include common grocery store food around the world such as [[yogurt]], [[cheese]], [[milk]] and [[butter]]. Dairy products are consumed worldwide to varying degrees. Some people avoid some or all dairy products because of [[lactose intolerance]], [[veganism]], [[Environmental issues|environmental concerns]], other health reasons or beliefs.

[[Milk]] is produced after optional [[Homogenization (chemistry)|homogenization]] or [[pasteurization]], in several grades after [[standardization]] of the fat level, and possible addition of the bacteria ''[[Streptococcus lactis]]'' and ''[[Leuconostoc citrovorum]]''. Milk can be broken down into several different categories based on type of product produced, including cream, butter, cheese, infant formula, and yogurt.

Milk varies in fat content. [[Skim milk]] is milk with zero fat, while [[whole milk]] products contain fat.

Milk is an ingredient in many confectioneries. Milk can be added to chocolate to produce [[milk chocolate]].

* [[Evaporated milk]], (less concentrated than condensed) milk without [[added sugar]]

* [[Baked milk]] is milk simmered on low heat for long time which results in mild [[caramelization]]. Particularly popular in [[Eastern Europe]].

== Consumption patterns worldwide ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

Rates of dairy consumption vary widely worldwide. High-consumption countries consume more than {{Convert|150|kg}} [[per capita]] per year. These countries are: Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Costa Rica, most European countries, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Canada, the United States and Pakistan. Medium-consumption countries consume {{Convert|30|kg}} to 150&nbsp;kg per capita per year. These countries are: India, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Mongolia, New Zealand, North and Southern Africa, most of the Middle East, and most of Latin America and the Caribbean. Low-consumption countries consume under 30&nbsp;kg per capita per year. These countries are: Senegal, most of Central Africa, and most of East and Southeast Asia.

== Lactose levels ==

For those with some degree of [[lactose intolerance]], considering the amount of [[lactose]] in dairy products can be important to health.

|Soft cheese

|More than hard cheese

== Avoidance on principle ==

Some groups avoid dairy products for non-health-related reasons. Some religions restrict or do not allow the consumption of dairy products. For example, some scholars of [[Jain vegetarianism|Jainism]] advocate not consuming any dairy products because dairy is perceived to involve violence against cows. Orthodox [[Kosher|Judaism]] requires that meat and dairy products not be served at the same meal, served or cooked in the same utensils, or stored together, as prescribed in Deuteronomy 14:21.

[[Veganism]] is the avoidance of all animal products, including dairy products, most often due to the ethics regarding how dairy products are produced. The [[Ethics of eating meat|ethical reasons for avoiding meat]] and dairy products include how dairy is produced, how the animals are handled, and the environmental effect of dairy production. According to a report of the United Nations' [[Food and Agriculture Organization]] in 2010 the dairy sector accounted for 4 percent of global human-made greenhouse gas emissions.

Growing awareness of dairy products' environmental impact, specifically greenhouse gas emissions, has led to many people reducing or avoiding dairy. In the EU, dairy is responsible for 27% of all diet related emissions, on average, while [[Plant milk|plant-based milks]] cause 2.5–4.5 times fewer emissions.
