ti02 pigment factories

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.”

  • Furthermore, this packaging has been shown to have both antibacterial and photocatalytic activity, the latter of which reduces ultraviolet (UV) exposure (5Trusted Source, 6).

  • Titanium dioxide, with its chemical formula TiO2, is a naturally occurring compound that has been widely used in various industries due to its unique properties. This versatile white pigment is not only an essential ingredient in the manufacturing of paints, plastics, and coatings but also plays a crucial role in the production of sunscreens, food additives, and cosmetics.
  • Another important aspect of TiO2 is its stability
