Likewise, we use modified corn starch which is 95% pure. Any allergen normally associated with corn starch would be removed during processing. Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) is used in our fruit flavored beverages, such as Mountain Dew, Slice and Mirinda. BVO is derived from soybean oil that has been modified in order to stabilize the flavoring oils in the beverage. Our purified vegetable gum is gum arabic, obtained from the acacia tree."
