Prof. Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), wrote of the decision: “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.”

Firstly, calcium carbonate factories can be categorized into two primary types natural and synthetic. Natural calcium carbonate factories extract limestone, marble, or chalk, all of which are rich in calcium carbonate, from the earth's crust. These materials are then processed through grinding and purification techniques to produce calcium carbonate powder. On the other hand, synthetic calcium carbonate factories create the compound through a chemical reaction between calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide. This method is often used when a purer form of calcium carbonate is required.
