The FDA has officially banned the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and beverages due to health concerns, including potential thyroid disruption and other toxic effects. BVO, used primarily to stabilize citrus-flavored drinks, has been linked to adverse health effects in studies conducted with the National Institutes of Health. This decision follows the removal of BVO from many products by major brands like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo in recent years. Manufacturers have until August 2, 2024, to reformulate their products. BVO has already been banned in several other countries, including the UK, EU, and Japan.
