What I want to know is who DISCOVERED that beaver anal secretions and calves fourth stomachs made things useful in food prep? Neither sounds like anything that would happen by accident, like letting the dough rise.

More of the sicko millenial gross out schtik...

Castoreum, as you oughtta know, badger, is not “anal secretions.” It’s scent*-gland secretions from downbelow, but not anal.

(*Not truly scent-glands, because in a hyper-technical manner, they aren’t glands.)

Beaver anal secretions?

So, companies producing ice cream hired & paid employees to collect anal secretions from beavers?
Were these beavers in the wild, or did the ice cream companies breed & raise them on special beaver farms?

Farm-raised beavers certainly would have made the anal-secretion-collecting process easier on the employees doing the collecting.

Sorry, Red Badger, I’m calling BS.

No.

Look at all the beavers now standing at the front of the Target parking lot looking for handouts.

Now I know why I need more sandwiches.....

[ProtectOurFreedom]

OK, that does it. I’ll never eat ANYTHING ever again. It’s just too dangerous to eat food. Thanks for giving us all these warnings.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Hmmm...choose your poison. Castoreum from beaver anal glands or coniferin from pine bark. Castor Oil is supposed to be good for you, so shouldn’t it follow that Castoreum must be good for you, too?

I dunno, ice cream with anal secretions sounds like a big seller in areas like SF and NYC!

Here we go again.

“Poppy seeds don’t usually contain opiates...”

Well, yeah, some poppy seeds contain small amounts and folks have tested positive for opiates due to poppy seeds.

[mrsmith]

I don’t miss the castoreum in ice cream as much as I miss the dolphin meat in tuna.
But, maybe a little.

[Kriggerel]

“Beaver anal secretions?”

Is the headline talking about a “shunt”? :P

Just last March, shoppers in France were warned against purchasing bread that contained a dose of opium. Health officials were puzzled about the unexplained presence of the drugs in poppy seed baguettes and ready-made sandwiches made from poppy seed bread.

Poppy seeds don’t usually contain opiates and government investigators posit that a batch of seeds delivered to bakeries may have been contaminated from the latex sap of the plant that has alkaloids.

The investigators have yet to determine exactly how much of the popular sandwich bread was contaminated. One sandwich made from poppy seed bread could contain at least four milligrams (mg) of morphine, a dose equal to almost half a tablet of morphine sulfate that’s administered to individuals diagnosed with cancer.

There is so much ignorance (or lying) in the above statements that the rest of the article isn't worth reading.

Bioavailability of oral morphine ~ 10%. Even if they found 4mg in a sandwich, the effective dose is equivalent to 0.4mg systemically available. An average person couldn't tell that dose apart from placebo.

Cancer patients on oral morphine are typically on 10 to 30mg every 2 to 4 hours plus a sustained release form (MS contin) 30 - 100mg every 12 to 8 hours.

The article is junk.

Bourbon is still wholesome, right? It’s not made from a weasel dingus or anything, is it?
