Food and Drug Administration: Revocation of Authorization for Use of Brominated Vegetable Oil in Food
 TTB-regulated industries may find these notices of interest.
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS
ACTION: Final Rule
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has amended its regulations to revoke the authorization for the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food. This action was taken because there is no longer a reasonable certainty of no harm from the continued use of BVO in food. Specifically, the final rule revokes the authorization for the use of BVO as a food ingredient intended to stabilize flavoring oils in fruit-flavored beverages. There are no authorizations for other uses of BVO in food.
DATES: The rule took effect on August 2, 2024. The compliance date for this rule is one year after the effective date, to provide the opportunity for companies to reformulate, relabel, and deplete the inventory of BVO-containing products before the FDA begins enforcing the final rule.
For more information on BVO, please refer to FDA’s website: Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) | FDA.
