In 2019, EFSA published a statement on the review of the risk related to the exposure to food additive titanium dioxide (E171) performed by the French Agency for Food, Environment and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES). In its statement, EFSA highlighted that the ANSES opinion reiterated the uncertainties and data gaps previously identified by EFSA and did not present findings that invalidated the Authority’s previous conclusions on the safety of titanium dioxide.
Amount: if too little titanium dioxide is added, the distance between particles is too large and there is not enough opacity, while if the titanium content is too high, the particles interfere with each other and poor efficiency is obtained.
