TL;DR

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed banning the toxic food additive brominated vegetable oil (BVO), which is commonly used in sodas to enhance citrus flavoring. Studies have linked BVO to neurological problems and issues with the thyroid. California has already banned the use of BVO, and New York is considering similar legislation. The FDA is also reviewing the use of red dye no.3, found in some candies, due to safety concerns. Stakeholders will have a 75-day comment period before a final decision is made on the ban.
