One of the leading TiO2 factories in the world is DuPont, a multinational chemical company based in the United States. DuPont is renowned for its high-quality TiO2 products that are used in a wide range of applications, from paints and coatings to plastics and paper. With a strong focus on research and development, DuPont continuously innovates to improve the performance and sustainability of its TiO2 products, making them a top choice for manufacturers worldwide.

TiO2 has been well accepted in the food industry and can be found as the E171 additive in various food products, mainly for whitening and texture. It is present in some cottage and Mozzarella cheeses, horseradish cream and sauces, lemon curd, and in low-fat products such as skimmed milk and ice-cream. Even if the product is labelled as containing E171, no information is usually given about the quantity, particle size and particle structure. FDA claims that TiO2 may be safely used as a colour additive for colouring foods in quantities up to 1 % by weight of the food. Interestingly, TiO2 is frequently declared as a “natural colouring agent” and is therefore well accepted by consumers.

In short, no, research demonstrates that E171 is safe when consumed in normal situations.

Moreover, how we're exposed to an ingredient matters significantly in terms of our health and potential toxicity.   

Research shows that inhaling titanium dioxide particles in significant quantities over time can cause adverse health outcomes. Unless you work in an industrial setting, inhaling substantial amounts of titanium dioxide is highly unlikely. 

Research supports that applying titanium dioxide to the skin in the form of sunscreens, makeup, and other topical products does not pose a health risk. 

Overwhelmingly, research that's relevant to human exposure shows us that E171 is safe when ingested normally through foods and drugs (1,2).

Again, other research suggests that E171 could cause harm; however, those research processes did not design their studies to model how people are exposed to E171. Research that adds E171 to drinking water, utilizes direct injections, or gives research animals E171 through a feeding apparatus is not replicating typical human exposure, which occurs through food and medicine consumption.

Titanium dioxide, often referred to as TiO2, exists in two primary forms rutile and anatase. Rutile TiO2 is renowned for its exceptional optical properties and higher refractive index, making it the preferred choice for applications requiring maximum brightness and durability. This form of titanium dioxide is characterized by its dense particle structure, providing superior weatherability and resistance to discoloration, essential traits for products exposed to the elements.
