tio2 in food

One of the main applications of titanium dioxide in paper is in the production of high-quality coated papers. Titanium dioxide is often added to the coating formulations to enhance the whiteness and brightness of the paper surface. This helps to improve the print quality of the paper, as it provides a smooth and even surface for ink to adhere to. The high opacity of titanium dioxide also helps to prevent show-through, making the printed text or images more vibrant and legible.

Yes. According to the FDA and other regulatory agencies globally, “titanium dioxide may be safely used for coloring foods”. Titanium dioxide is safe to use, and the FDA provides strict guidance on how much can be used in food. The amount of food-grade titanium dioxide that is used is extremely small; the FDA has set a limit of 1 percent titanium dioxide for food. There is currently no indication of a health risk at this level of exposure through the diet.
