The world's largest beverage-maker, Coca-Cola, plans to remove a controversial ingredient from its drinks by the end of this year following an online petition. Brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, is found in drinks such as Fanta but is banned in Europe and Japan. It will be replaced after concerns an element of the additive is also found in flame retardants. Rival Pepsi removed the chemical from its Gatorade sports drink last year. A Pepsi spokesman said it also had wider plans to stop using BVO and had "been actively working to remove it from the rest of our product portfolio". Pepsi uses the ingredient in its Mountain Dew and Amp Energy drinks. However, Coca-Cola spokesman Josh Gold stressed the move to remove BVO was not an issue of safety. "All of our beverages, including those with BVO, are safe and always have been - and comply with all regulations in the countries where they are sold," he said in a statement. "The safety and quality of our products is our highest priority." 全球飲料制造商可口可樂公司近日宣布將于年底前停止使用頗受爭議飲料成分：溴化植物油(BVO)，而其競爭對手百事公司在去年就宣布，旗下運動飲品佳得樂將停止使用該成分。 溴化植物油(英語：Brominated vegetable oil;縮寫作BVO)是一種把植物油溴化后制成的食物添加劑，可在柑橘味道的飲料里作起云劑之用。 溴化植物油在食品工業(yè)的應用始于1931年，其作用是增加油份的密度，使其與水份更容易混和。 由于溴是一種對人類存在毒性的元素，聯(lián)合國糧食及農業(yè)組織、世界衛(wèi)生組織食物添加劑聯(lián)合專家委員會已對溴化植物油的安全作評估，認為溴化植物油不該用于食品添加劑?，F(xiàn)時世上有不少國家都已禁用(如日本，英國等)，但在美國仍然可以合法使用。
