 So. It is now possible to make vanilla out of cow poop. Isn’t that appetizing? Thankfully, due to new ingrediant listing laws, we don’t have to worry that this “vanilla” will show up in any of our food. They’ll save the good stuff for shampoos and candles only. But suppose we have a surprise vanilla shortage… hey? Where will all you naysayers be then? Vanilla Latte, anyone?  In a world-first recycling project, a one-hour heating and pressuring process allows cow feces to produce vanillin, the main component of the vanilla-bean extract, according to researcher Mayu Yamamoto.
The vanillin extracted from the feces could be used in products such as shampoo and aromatic candles but not in food... Compared with usual vanilla, "this component is exactly the same but it would be difficult for people to accept it in food, given the recent rules of disclosing the origins of ingredients," she said.
