Original Note:
The meme creates pointless panic about regular food products. While castoreum is still FDA-approved as a “natural flavoring,” its presence in modern food products is extremely unlikely due to its high-cost and limited availability. Beaver butt juice isn't a thing anymore. https://www.businessinsider.in/science/vanilla-scented-beaver-butt-secretions-are-used-in-food-and-perfume/articleshow/23741175.cms https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/castoreum-beaver-musk-vanilla https://www.vice.com/en/article/a-history-of-flavoring-food-with-beaver-butt-juice/
