The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is banning the use of a food additive known as brominated vegetable oil after the agency concluded that it is no longer safe to consume.
Brominated vegetable oil, also known as BVO, is an oil that has been modified with bromine, a naturally occurring chemical element, according to the FDA. It is used as a food stabilizer primarily in citrus drinks to keep the flavoring from separating and floating to the top. after"the results of studies conducted in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health found the potential for adverse health effects in humans."
The BVO ban goes into effect in the U.S. on Aug. 2, 2024. After that, companies will have one year to reformulate, relabel and stop selling products that contain BVO.“Most of the major brands have already phased BVO out of their formulations,” Galligan says.
