Webinar: Evolving TiO2 and Synthetic Color Legislation – Current Status and Potential Impact on Phar

November 5, 2025 - 11:00am to 1:00pm EST

In 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that titanium dioxide (TiO₂) was no longer considered safe for use as the food additive E171 due to genotoxicity data gaps for nano-sized TiO₂ grades, which led the EU Commission (EC) and Parliament to ban E171 use in food products using the precautionary principle. Several global regulatory authorities reviewed the 2021 EFSA opinion and available science relevant to TiO₂ food applications, including data generated after the EFSA opinion, and concluded that TiO₂ was safe as a food additive and should not be banned.
