It is true. What I am referring to is Castoreum, a yellowish secretion from a beaver's castor sack combined with the beaver's urine. Male and female beavers have castor sacks and anal sacks located between the pelvis and the base of the tail.
It is hidden under the name "Natural Flavor" or "natural flavoring"
It is found in beverages and foods as an artificial vanilla, strawberry, or raspberry flavor.
This may be disturbing news to some vegans who are unaware of this.
How can you avoid it?
Stop eating packaged and bottled Foods :)
