The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Tuesday that it will revoke the regulation authorizing the use of brominated vegetable oil in food items, effective August 2. The decision comes after the U.S. health regulator determined that the additive, which is commonly found in some sodas, is no longer safe for consumption. This move marks a significant step in food safety regulation, reflecting growing concerns over the potential health risks associated with certain food additives.
