Q
is titanium dioxide safe for consumption
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely used as a color additive in foods, providing a white, opaque appearance. Its safety for consumption has been assessed by various regulatory bodies around the world. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food, with specific regulations on its maximum allowable concentrations. However, in May 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive due to concerns over its potential to cause genotoxicity. This decision was based on a comprehensive review of available scientific studies, leading to a call for its removal from the list of approved food additives in the EU. Consumers should be mindful of these differing perspectives and stay informed about the latest research and regulatory updates. While titanium dioxide is deemed safe by some agencies, pending research and regional bans suggest a more cautious approach might be warranted.
