Incidental result of a manufacturing process (2-7)

I believe the answer is:

by-product

(Other definitions for by-product that I've seen before include "Extra result" , "Incidental result of manufacture" , "Unintended side-effect" , "Chance result" , "Secondary, sometimes unintended, result" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
