China's titanium dioxide enterprises are currently in the stage of capacity expansion and upgrading. With the recovery of the world economy, Caiqing Technology seized the opportunity to occupy the market, titanium dioxide has been exported to more than 90 countries and regions, and has been recognized and unanimously praised by customers in the United States, Singapore, India, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Brazil, and other countries. Our company will continue to increase the research and development of titanium dioxide, and provide high-quality titanium dioxide for various industries around the world.
Variations of titanium dioxide are added to enhance the whiteness of paint, plastics, and paper products, though these variations differ from the food-grade ones for things we eat (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).
In addition to Skittles, other candies that contain titanium dioxide include Nice! mints, Trolli sour gummies and Ring Pops, according to Environmental Working Group.
Wegman’s puts titanium dioxide in its Original Macaroni and Cheese. Campbell’s Healthy Request Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder has it, as does Food Club’s Chunky New England Clam Chowder. Marzetti uses the color agent to brighten its Cream Cheese Fruit Dip. Dairy products usually don’t need titanium dioxide to look white, but Kroger has decided to add titanium dioxide to its Fat Free Half-and-Half. And titanium dioxide isn’t only in especially white or brightly colored foods: Little Debbie adds it to Fudge Rounds and many other products. According to the Food Scores database maintained by Environmental Working Group, more than 1,800 brand-name food products have titanium dioxide on their ingredients list. That said, it can still lurk as an unspecified “artificial color,” or labels might simply say “color added.”
