How to use 乳制品
乳制品 is a general, slightly formal word you see on supermarket signs, food labels, and in talk about diet or allergies. In casual speech people often name the item instead, like 牛奶 (niúnǎi) or 酸奶 (suānnǎi). Example: 我不能吃乳制品。(Wǒ bù néng chī rǔzhìpǐn.) I can't eat dairy products.
Break it into three parts: 乳 (rǔ) milk, 制 (zhì) to make, and 品 (pǐn) products. Things made from milk are dairy products, just like 食品 (shípǐn) is food products.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 牛奶制品 or just 奶 when they mean the whole dairy category. 乳制品 is the standard term. Also watch the tone on 乳: it is third tone rǔ, not rù.
