Is it ok to reveal to a client during an interview that you worked on a product of theirs as a consultant in the past (life sciences)? Is it seen as a breach of confidentiality? I’d think not if I were in their shoes but want to understand this group’s thoughts.

I would mention this, since it's their company's product. You can say that you are mentioning it to them only because they work in the same company.

I think it would depend on the project and the circumstances. If it was considered privileged in the company than definitely not. If it was generally known than probably ok.
