Why Buy IMARC Reports?

In 2022, a year after the EFSA recommended against the use of E171, the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) conducted its own reassessment of titanium dioxide as a food additive. The agency concluded that titanium dioxide was indeed safe to use as a food additive. The United Kingdom and Canada came to similar conclusions.

Cheap titanium dioxide manufacturers often emerge from regions where raw materials are abundant and labor costs are lower. Countries like China, India, and Vietnam have positioned themselves as major players in the titanium dioxide market, offering competitive pricing to attract buyers worldwide. However, while cost is undoubtedly important, buyers should also consider factors such as the quality of the product, production processes, and compliance with international standards.

Although food-grade titanium dioxide must be 99 percent pure, there’s still a risk of it containing potential contaminants, such as mercury, lead and arsenic. Additionally, inhaling the mineral over time can possibly cause it to build up in your body, leading to adverse effects.
