Castoreum is a yellowish secretion, of the castor sac, in male and female beavers. These sacs are beneath the beavers tail, right next to the anus. Also, it's a food additive. That's right, there's no telling how many times you've ingested it either, as it is used as a raspberry, strawberry, and vanilla flavoring. Don't bother looking for it on a list of ingredients either, it's often listed as "natural flavoring".

I don't like the idea of ingesting beaver butt juice, aka castoreum, even if it is deemed "reasonably safe" by the FDA. So, I had an idea. I'm going to gather a list of strawberry, raspberry, and vanilla products and contact the manufactures to see if castoreum is a "natural flavor" in their product.
