Virginia soda lovers should know an ingredient is being banned by the FDA over health concerns. The federal agency said Tuesday that starting next month, brominated vegetable oil known as BVO will no longer be allowed in food because it's "no longer considered safe." The previously FDA approved additive is shown in some studies to be toxic to the thyroid. The FDA noted that many soda companies have already reformulated their recipes to replace BVO with a different ingredient, and that only a few sodas in the U.S. still contain the additive.
