The primary concern surrounding the use of TiO2 in food is its potential to be inhaled or ingested. While TiO2 is generally recognized as safe for consumption by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are some studies that suggest that it may have adverse effects on human health when consumed in large quantities over a long period of time. These studies have linked TiO2 to respiratory problems, such as inflammation and irritation, as well as potential carcinogenic effects.

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”.
