Castoreum and the Corn Free Diet
Castoreum is a natural secretion obtained from the castor sacs of beavers, located near the base of their tails. It has been historically used as a flavoring agent due to its vanilla-like aroma, although its use is now rare and often replaced by synthetic alternatives. Castoreum is sometimes used in natural flavorings and fragrances, though its occurrence in modern food products is minimal due to its animal origin and the availability of cheaper, synthetic vanillin.
