The FDA has just revoked the use of Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) in food !

We found it in almost 700 US products !
In total : 13% of food products are at risk of being banned in US States due to additives. Details of our last analysis on additives here: 🔗 https://www.gococo.app/post/food-products-at-risk-of-being-banned-in-us-states‍

This regulation will be effective 8/2/2024. It's about time, since:
- BVO has long been under scrutiny by the FDA (soap opera details in link below)
- it was included in the California ban passed in 2023
- it was banned in the UK in 1970 and in Europe in 2008.
