Is it true that raspberry flavoring is made from beaver?

The rumor that a beaver's anal secretions, known as castoreum, are used to create raspberry flavoring is a persistent urban legend. While it is technically possible and historically has occurred, the use of castoreum in modern food production for raspberry flavoring is almost non-existent. The vast majority of raspberry flavors today are derived from synthetic sources or other plant-based materials.
