FDA will no longer allow Brominated vegetable oil, a potentially harmful additive found in some sodas
SUMMARY: The US FDA announced it will ban brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food products starting August 2, with companies given one year to comply. BVO, used in many sodas to stabilize citrus flavoring, has been linked to health risks like nervous system damage and organ damage. The decision follows years of scientific evidence and consumer advocacy, including a significant 2012 Change.org petition. Many manufacturers had already started to eliminate BVO. California has also banned BVO along with other harmful substances. Until the ban takes effect, consumers are advised to monitor their intake and check product ingredients for BVO.
