Concern About BVO in Citrus Soft Drinks

February 17, 2013

Concern is growing about the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in some soft drinks and in response PepsiCo recently announced it would remove (BVO) from its Gatorade sports drinks.

Brominated vegetable oil is a synthetic chemical and is used as an emulsifier to help the flavoring mix better in soft drinks. Drinks that contain BVO usually look hazy or cloudy. When consumed in very high amounts over a long period of time, BVO can build up in the body and cause toxic effects. Very high levels of bromide in the bloodstream have been linked to kidney dysfunction and severe skin conditions.

Syfo Naturally-Flavored Sparkling Waters do not contain BVO (brominated vegetable oil). Syfo is made with the highest quality, finest natural flavorings and are completely PG (propylene glycol) and BVO (Brominated Vegetable Oil) free. This makes Syfo the healthy beverage choice when you’re looking for a delicious and refreshing flavored drink.
