Чому
Most down is a slaughter by-product, but live-plucking still occurs in parts of the supply chain, and force-fed foie gras birds also supply down. Synthetic insulations now match down for warmth-to-weight in most conditions.

Поширені запитання
Is Down and feathers 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.
