food derived from animals


Explanation:
I have used the search engine Google and have found out that the term "food derived from animals" is written in 560 English websites. Here are 2 examples of its usage:
1. "FASS does not support labeling of food derived from animals fed biotech crop materials."
2. "Thoroughly cook all food derived from animals."

neutral  Richard Benham: Not wrong, but not very idiomatic. Both your examples are atyopical and have reasons not to use the more standard "of animal origin".
