At the present JECFA meeting, the committee considered additional toxicological studies relevant to the safety assessment of the chemical that investigated its toxicokinetics, acute toxicity, short-term toxicity, long-term toxicity and carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and reproductive and developmental toxicity, as well as special studies addressing its short-term initiation/promotion potential for colon cancer. The experts acknowledged that a large number of toxicological studies have been conducted using test materials, including nanoparticles, having size distributions and physico-chemical properties not comparable to real-world uses of titanium dioxide as a food additive. The studies on non-representative materials were evaluated by JECFA, but the committee concluded that such studies are not relevant to the safety assessment of the additive.

The global lithopone pigment market is driven by the growth of end-use industries, particularly construction and automotive, where coatings and plastics play a significant role. Manufacturers are constantly innovating to improve the quality of lithopone pigments, focusing on enhancing their whiteness, opacity, and weather resistance. Environmental concerns have also led to the development of eco-friendly production methods, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental footprint.
