Hey, it's Marco! Beaver Anal Glands: Did you know this bitter, very smelly, orange-brown substance is also known as castoreum. (Don't click this unless you want to barf btw!) In nature it’s combined with the beaver’s urine and used to mark its territory. In the processed food world it’s commonly used in both food and beverages, typically as vanilla or raspberry flavoring. Watch out though, you won’t find it on the ingredient list since processed food manufacturers can legally call it “natural flavoring.” What is natural these days anyway?
Processed Foods
But wait! There's more! Everyone now knows that processed and fast foods are not the bastions of nutrition, but that shouldn’t make these ingredients found inside them any less revolting. This list sends a clear message: when a packaged food contains more than five ingredients and includes some that are difficult to pronounce, stay away!
Yuck!
