Q
is titanium dioxide safe to consume
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a widely used white pigment in various products, including food, cosmetics, and paints. In the food industry, it is known as E171 and has been used for decades to make products appear whiter or more opaque. Its safety for consumption has been a subject of regulatory scrutiny. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) re-evaluated its safety in 2021 and declared that TiO2 can no longer be considered safe as a food additive, citing concerns over genotoxicity (the ability to damage DNA). This led to a ban in the European Union. However, in other regions, including the United States, titanium dioxide is still generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food, albeit within specified limits. The varying regulatory stances highlight the importance of geographical location when considering the safety of titanium dioxide consumption. Consumers concerned about its safety may opt to check product labels and choose products that do not contain E171 or TiO2.
