[Sca-cooks] Musk flavor?

went back to CFR, just to make sure - musk tonquin is still used in foods, in trace amounts.  Castoreum and Civit tinctures are also used, as is labdanum oil.  They're probably not available retail, unless you find a really unusual specialty shop.

Came across the following:
Musk (Oil): Dried secretion painfully obtained from musk deer, beaver,
muskrat, civet cat, and otter genitals.  In perfumes and in food
flavorings. Alternatives: labdanum oil (which comes from various
rockrose shrubs) and other plants with a musky scent. Labdanum oil has
no known toxicity.

This at least turns up in merchant lists and sites, although it's
expensive and most don't specify food safe.
