The fiber I've been taking has aspartame in it and my vitamin D supplement is made from soybean oil.

Many vanilla ice cream brands use a chemical called castoreum in their flavouring. Castoreum is a chemical extracted from the anus of a beaver.

It is extracted from the castor gland. The FDA allows the extract of the chemical to be used in food products but it is rarely actually used, only about 300 lbs are used in food production across the US each year.

You would also never see it listed on the ingredients list, it would just say natural flavor.

Unless you're a pregnant woman with phenylketonuria, that shouldn't actually matter to you in the slightest.

I think "many" is probably over stating it. You have to consider that actually obtaining enough of a product like that to support any kind of major brand would be nearly impossible. It's not like there are a bunch of beaver farms (that sounds wrong) where they are mass producing this stuff.

Besides, castoreum is more common in fragrances and cosmetics--not for food use.

With vanilla you should be more worried about Mexican or other knockoff vanilla flavor containing coumarin which is actual rat poison.
