Wood, J., Giromini, C. and Givens, I. (2025) Editorial: Animal-derived foods in our diets: nutrition, health and social implications. Frontiers in Animal Science, 6. 1561770. ISSN 2673-6225 doi: 10.3389/fanim.2025.1561770
Abstract/Summary
Animal-derived foods (ADFs), including meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, fish and eggs, contribute vital nutrients to the diets of people around the world and low intakes have been linked to conditions such as stunted growth, poor bone development and anaemia. At the same time there is concern that some ADFs may pose a risk to health. There is also increasing worry about the environmental cost of some modes of ADF production and with the welfare of the animals involved. The aim of this Research Topic was to assemble a collection of research reports and reviews which give the reader insights into these important topics. Fourteen papers were published which included five reports on original research. Broadly, the papers have covered the whole food chain from the diet of the animal to food quality, human health, consumer attitudes, and food by-products
