Castoreum is a vanilla flavoring you get from beavers’ castor and anal glands. Manufacturers have been using it in foods for at least 80 years. They can list castoreum on the ingredient list as “natural flavoring.”

"Beaver butts secrete a goo called castoreum, which the animals use to mark their territory. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists castoreum as a “generally regarded as safe” additive, and manufacturers have been using it extensively in perfumes and foods for at least 80 years, according to a 2007 study in the International Journal of Toxicology."
