Popular questions
Is powdered cellulose gluten free?
Yes—it's naturally gluten-free purified plant fiber with no wheat, barley, or rye proteins; if you’re highly sensitive, look for products made in gluten-free facilities to avoid cross-contamination.
What is powdered cellulose made of?
Purified cellulose (insoluble plant fiber) obtained mainly from wood pulp or cotton linters, mechanically milled into a fine powder.

Food‑grade powdered cellulose is considered safe by regulators (e.g., GRAS in the U.S.; ADI ‘not specified’ internationally) and functions as non-digestible fiber; very high intakes may cause gas or a laxative effect in some people.
What is powdered cellulose in dog food?
It’s an added insoluble fiber that increases bulk, helps firm stools, and lowers calorie density for weight management; at high levels it may slightly reduce palatability or nutrient digestibility.

There’s been no general ban or recall of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; if you’re seeing a shortage, only the manufacturer or seller can give a return date.
When will cmc be back?

How long is cmc out?
It isn’t out globally; regulatory approval and production continue, and any gaps are due to individual supply chains.
