As for titanium dioxide, the FDA approved titanium dioxide for use as a food additive in 1966. The last time the agency reviewed the additive’s safety, according to the Guardian, was in 1973.

Because of the uncertainty of the impacts of nanoparticles, Made Safe exercises the precautionary principle, meaning we avoid nanoparticles until more extensive scientific testing proves their safety.

At our manufacturing facility, we are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We take great care to ensure that our production processes are as environmentally friendly as possible, and we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. By choosing our nano titanium dioxide products, customers can be confident that they are supporting a company that is dedicated to preserving the planet for future generations.

For that reason, the Center for Science in the Public Interest has graded titanium dioxide as a food additive that consumers should seek to “avoid.” Scientists at the nonprofit nutrition and food safety watchdog group today published a new entry for titanium dioxide in its Chemical Cuisine database of food additives.
