Titanium Dioxide

Colorant

Titanium dioxide (E171) is a white pigment used as a food colorant in candies, chewing gum, coffee creamer, and sauces. It was banned by the European Union in August 2022 after EFSA concluded it could not rule out genotoxicity concerns. It remains FDA-approved in the United States.
