TiO2 comes in many different forms. However, only a few of these forms are considered food-grade (acceptable to be added to food). Many studies that raised concern about the safety of TiO2, including the concern for genotoxicity, used forms of TiO2 that are not considered acceptable for use in food and have different properties than food-grade TiO2. Other studies did use food-grade TiO2, but took steps to break the material down into smaller particles than what would normally be found in food.

Thusfive hundred and sixty-three pounds of a seventeen-per-ccnt. grade of lithopone will be precipitated, from which the soda liquor may be filtered and then washed out. Fifty six pounds of sodium hydrosulfid may then be recovered from the solution, if no further treatment thereof is contemplated, by any suitable evaporating process. By employing sodium sulfate and suitably altering the reaction I have also produced lithopone and sogo dium sulfid. The products of these reactions will be found to be of unusual purity and require no subsequent treatment for placing them upon the market.
