                                In July 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially banned the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in all food products sold in the United States, citing concerns over potential health effects. This additive was historically found almost exclusively in citrus-flavored beverages and some sports drinks, but with the ban, manufacturers must reformulate their products.
