Organic compounds in meat, eggs etc (8)
I believe the answer is:
proteins
(Other definitions for proteins that I've seen before include "Organic compounds, obtained from meat, eggs, etc." , "Long strings of amino acids" , "Pointers to organic compounds containing nitrogen, essential in food" .)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
