Health Canada has given a year for the removal of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) from beverages due to potential health risks. BVO contains bromine, which can accumulate in the body and may cause issues such as skin and liver damage, hormonal disruptions, and neurotoxicity. While BVO is used to stabilize citrus-flavored drinks, its safety has been questioned, leading to calls for safer alternatives. The ban aims to protect public health and reduce exposure to harmful substances.
