Il Wool è vegano?
No — wool comes from sheep bred and shorn for it, and the flock is slaughtered when yields fall.

Perché
Shearing is paid by volume rather than by hour, which drives rough handling, and mulesing is still practised in parts of the merino industry. Sheep raised for wool enter the meat trade at the end of their productive life.
Cosa controllare sull'etichetta
- The ingredient list on your own pack — Wool recipes differ by country and change over time
- Milk, whey, casein, lactose, egg, honey, gelatin, carmine (E120) and shellac (E904) in the list
- "May contain milk" is an allergen cross-contamination note, not an ingredient — most vegans still buy it

Domande frequenti
Is Wool certified vegan?
Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.
Does the answer change between countries?
Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
