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”.

In a preferred technical solution, 3⁄40 2 is added to the Lide powder emulsion of the metathesis reaction step, and the mass fraction of 3⁄40 2 added is 10 to 33%, and the lithopone emulsion is desulfurized (mainly hydrosulfate ion or Elemental sulfur), slowly added 3⁄40 2 until the lithopone emulsion is colorless and transparent. The obtained sulfate ion can be recycled and reused in the production process. The chemical reaction equation is: 43⁄40 2 + HS— + OH— → SO/— + 5H 2 0
