It is a common misconception that eggs are dairy products because they are often sold in the refrigerated dairy aisle; however, eggs are not dairy and do not contain milk. Additionally, plant-based alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk are not technically dairy products, as they are not derived from the mammary glands of mammals.2
