Kashruth of Dental Floss

Question

I bought OralB Glide dental floss. The floss has a taste and a smell, and there is no symbol that would indicate kashruth supervision. Is it permissible to use this?

Answer

Shalom Rav

According to the law, there is no obligation for it to have kashruth. However, there is room for stringency in this matter.
