Felt
AvoidNon-food Textile
Felt is a textile material that is not typically used in food products but may be found in medications, supplements, cosmetics, or cleaning supplies.
What is Felt?
Felt is a textile material made from natural fibers such as wool or synthetic fibers. It is produced by matting, condensing, and pressing fibers together. While not traditionally used in food, it can occasionally be found in non-food applications such as the production of certain medications, supplements, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies. Its relevance to dietary concerns typically arises from its animal origin, particularly if made from wool.

Why People Avoid Felt
People avoid felt in the context of veganism because traditional felt is often made from animal fibers, such as wool, which are not in line with vegan principles. Vegans avoid animal-derived products, and while felt is not a common food ingredient, its presence in non-food items like cosmetics or supplements can be a concern for those strictly adhering to a vegan lifestyle.
