Wool and the Vegan Diet

Wool is a natural fiber obtained from the fleece of sheep and other animals like goats, rabbits, and camels. It is predominantly used in the textile industry for clothing, blankets, and upholstery. In the context of food, wool is not used directly as an ingredient but may be indirectly involved in certain products, such as supplements or medications, where lanolin (a byproduct of wool) is utilized as an excipient or coating.
