milk
'Milch' and 'Milchprodukt' both belong to the area of foods made from milk. 'Milch' is the white liquid itself, for example in a glass, in coffee, or in cooking. A 'Milchprodukt' is a food that is made from milk or contains a lot of milk, such as yogurt, cheese, or quark. The words can be confused because milk is the basis of many dairy products. In practice: if you mean the liquid, say 'Milch'. If you are speaking generally about foods made from it, say 'Milchprodukt'.
