In 2021, the European Food Safety Authority concluded that titanium dioxide is no longer safe in foods due to the same concerns over nanoparticles. As a result, titanium dioxide is now banned as a food additive in the EU. Although studies have shown that the absorption of ingested titanium dioxide is low, evidence suggests that titanium dioxide nanoparticles can accumulate in the body over time. Health Canada deemed it safe in 2022 but noted concerns. Unlike their European counterparts, Canadian officials did not consider studies performed with titanium dioxide nanoparticles alone.

JECFA previously assessed titanium dioxide at its 13th meeting, at which time the expert committee assigned a “not specified” ADI for the additive due to an absence of significant absorption and a lack of toxicological effects in the available experimental animal and human studies. Since its original evaluation by JECFA, titanium dioxide has become a public point of contention, with its ban being introduced (and then subsequently withdrawn) in California legislation in 2023, a legal battle playing out in the EU over the additive’s ban and classification as a carcinogen in 2022, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) calling titanium dioxide unsafe. However, supporters of titanium dioxide say that claims about its dangers are founded in unreliable studies, and some recent research has supported its safety as a food additive.

2. The preparation of the lining powder: The above-mentioned final immersion liquid 1000 ml in a 2000 ml beaker, heated to 98 ° C, and then added 4 g of ammonium persulfate with a magnetic stirrer stirring 0. 5h, after the oxidation of the solution, adding polyacrylamide 02%。 The solution, the volume of the solution is 0.02%. After lh filtration, the obtained filtrate is subjected to sulfurization and impurity removal, and zinc powder is substituted to obtain a zinc sulfate ammonia refining complex liquid. 122. 9g of antimony sulfide (without water) and 21. 7g of sodium sulfide (without water) are mixed and dissolved in distilled water to obtain a metathesis reaction solution, and a nonionic surfactant 0P-10 (for nonylphenol and epoxy) is added to the solution. The condensate of acetamidine) 0. 2g, the reaction temperature is 40 ° C, the stirring speed is 15m / s, stir well for 40min, then slowly added to 1000ml zinc sulfate ammonia refining complex, continue to stir for 30min and then add quality The fractionation is 30% 3⁄40 2 of desulfurization bleaching, and after bleaching, the nZnS-BaS0 4 crystal filter cake is separated by filtration.
