Quote:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castoreum
In the United States, castoreum is considered to be a GRAS food additive by the Food and Drug Administration.[9] It is often referenced simply as a “natural flavoring” in products’ lists of ingredients. While it is mainly used in both foods and beverages as part of an artificial vanilla flavor,[10] it is less commonly used as a part of a raspberry or strawberry flavoring.[11] The annual industry consumption is very low, around 300 pounds,[12] whereas vanillin is over 2.6 million pounds annually.[13]
