This term may refer to any dietary fats obtained from an animal source. Some vegetarian (though no vegan) foods, such as milk and cheese, contain animal fats. However where the term is used in food labeling it will normally refer to fats such as suet and lard. Since these are obtained from animals after slaughter they are not considered suitable for a vegetarian diet. Animal fats contain mainly saturated fats (see polyunsaturated fats)
