BVO is a dangerous chemical found in many sports drinks and sodas. It's already banned in the EU, and last month, CA also passed a ban.
@US_FDA's proposed rule ending the use of this additive is the next step to improving food safety for consumers across the country.

Consumers think products are thoroughly tested for safety - but too often that’s not true.
This law – the nation’s first of its kind – will require many baby food brands be tested for heavy metals, giving parents across the U.S. vital safety information.

Starting in 2024, most baby food sold in California will have to be tested for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury due to new legislation that was signed into law on Tuesday by Gov. @GavinNewsom. consumerreports.org/health/f…
