In July 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially banned the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and drinks after new studies raised safety concerns. Although major beverage brands phased out BVO years ago, some smaller and store-brand citrus drinks may have contained this additive until the ban's compliance date of August 2, 2025. Consumers should still check labels for brominated vegetable oil (BVO) while older inventory is depleted.
