The European Commission will propose to member states the withdrawal of Titanium Dioxide (E171), a common food additive, from the union list of food additives after it was deemed unsafe by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA).
Stressing that the Commission’s priority is the “health of its citizens and the safety of the food they eat and the products they use,” a Commission spokesperson confirmed the news of the proposal on Thursday (6 May).
Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides also confirmed that the Commission would propose a ban on the additive on Twitter, adding that discussions with member states will start this month.

Titanium dioxide: EFSA says E171 ‘no longer considered safe’ EFSA has updated its safety assessment of controversial food additive titanium dioxide, E171. The verdict: “Titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive.”
The update revises EFSA’s previous assessment, published in 2016, which concluded the ingredient could be used in food applications but highlighted the need for more research to fill ‘data gaps’.
The contentious ingredient continued to be linked to negative health consequences, including damage to the intestinal flora and - in the form of very small nanoparticles – the development of cancer. EFSA said its fresh assessment took into account ‘many thousands’ of studies that have become available since 2016, including fresh scientific evidence on nanoparticles.
