"Thank you Syfo Original. I discovered you on a hot, humid August in Georgia. I have been hooked since. The glass bottle is the key for, it seems to hold the carbonation."

Soda Makers Working to Remove BVO from Drinks

June 2, 2014

After years of standing behind the ingredient, Coke and Pepsi have both announced plans to remove brominated vegetable oil (BVO) from their flavored drinks amid a growing chorus of complaints from consumers.

As we’ve previously noted on this site, BVO is a known endocrine disruptor and has been banned as a food product throughout Europe and Japan. The soda makers have been using it as an emulsifier to prevent their artificial flavors from floating to the top of their drinks. Naturally-flavored, Syfo Beverages do not and have never contained brominated vegetable oil or other additives.

As this article from the USA Today points out, Pepsi and Coke were forced to take this step by the growing awareness of consumers of what they eat and drink. More and more people are reading product labels to determine which food and beverages are truly healthy for them.
