The FDA has officially banned brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a controversial soda additive used to stabilize citrus flavors!
After several studies revealed potential health risks, including toxicity and accumulation in body tissues, the decision was made. BVO has already been banned in multiple countries, and major brands like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are phasing it out of their products.
Additionally, the FDA is reviewing regulations for food additives to enhance safety and prohibit food coloring agents linked to cancer in humans or animals.
This move reflects a growing trend toward safer, more natural ingredients in beverages. Cheers to healthier choices!
