Coke, Pepsi dropping 'BVO' from all drinks
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo said that they're working to remove a
controversial ingredient from all their drinks, including
Mountain Dew, Fanta and Powerade. The ingredient, called
brominated vegetable oil, had been the target of petitions on
Change.org by a Mississippi teenager who wanted it out of
PepsiCo's Gatorade and Coca-Cola's Powerade. In her petitions,
Sarah Kavanagh noted that the ingredient has been patented as a
flame retardant and isn't approved for use in Japan and the
European Union. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have stood by the
safety of the ingredient, which is used to distribute flavors more
evenly in fruit-flavored drinks. But their decisions reflect the
pressure companies are facing as people pay closer attention to
ingredient labels and try to stick to diets they feel are natural.
Several major food makers have recently changed their recipes
to remove chemicals or dyes that people find objectionable.
While food companies stress that the ingredients meet
regulatory requirements, their decisions reflect how marketing a
product as "natural" has become priority and a competitive
advantage. PepsiCo had said last year that it would remove
brominated vegetable oil from Gatorade. On Monday, the
company said it has since been working to remove it from the
rest of its products. PepsiCo also uses BVO in its Mountain
Dew and Amp energy drinks.
Should Coca-Cola be forced to drop BVO from all of its drinks
if there is no conclusive research that indicates that there are
health risks from consuming the ingredient?
Knowing that flavored Coke products contain BVO, would this
change your consumption habits?
