• Chicken, turkey, duck, emu, goose, and bush birds are examples of poultry.

• Fish, prawns, crab, lobster, mussels, oysters, scallops, and clams are all examples of seafood.

• eggs

• Almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, macadamias, hazelnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds — nuts (including nut pastes) and seeds
