Prof Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), said: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive . A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body”.

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.

Inorganic pigment Lide powder, also known as zinc antimony white, is a mixed crystal of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. It has many unique and excellent properties. Lide powder products form a series of products, such as high ZnS type, apparent treatment type, water dispersion. Type, light fastness, color type, etc., play an important role in industrial and agricultural production and daily life. Mainly used in coatings, paints, thermoplastics, thermosets, paper, etc., can replace some rutile by surface treatment or Ti0 2 coating.
