The FDA said it had concluded that BVO was not safe for use after the results of studies, it conducted in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, found the potential for adverse effects in humans.

The agency had first proposed to revoke the regulation in November 2023. According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, BVO was banned in the UK in 1970, followed by India in 1990, the EU in 2008 and Japan in 2010.

      India doesn’t have the Robert’s court.

      The FDA means nothing. Agencies are pointless now. The whole thing is a joke.

    The FDA knew it wasn’t safe in 1970.

    Okay new rule. If it’s not naturally grown and simply processed, (squeezing an orange) it has to go to the FDA for FDA led testing and cannot be distributed until then.

    If that’s already the case then we need to see some criminal prosecutions. I’m getting really fucking tired of these captured regulators.
