Type of vanilla extract to use

[RPh_Guy]

I'm saying vanilla imitation (vanillin) isn't typically made from castoreum. It's artificial, synthesized in an industrial lab.

There's not some massive beaver farm culling millions of beavers to make ice cream and vanilla lattes.

Read before you post
"These days, castoreum is primarily used for fragrances, not foods. It's too expensive and cumbersome (and gross) a process to extract. A little less than 300 pounds is produced every year, which is stretched thin throughout the market. Because it's considered safe, the FDA doesn't require companies to specifically say they're using castoreum. They can just say "natural flavoring." But the chances castoreum is in your food are slim to none."

the FDA considers it safe...do you see all the drugs out that the FDA approves??? the side effects are worse than the original ailment.
