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JECFA, titanium dioxide has become a public point of contention, with its ban being introduced (and then subsequently withdrawn) in California legislation in 2023, a legal battle playing out in the EU over the additive’s ban and classification as a carcinogen in 2022, and the European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.

In conclusion, the versatility and biocompatibility of titanium dioxide make it a promising material for various medical applications. Its photocatalytic, antioxidant, and drug delivery properties make it a valuable tool for developing new treatments and preventing diseases. As research continues to explore the potential of titanium dioxide in medicine, we can expect to see more innovative uses of this remarkable compound in the years to come.
