With the positive initial and recent EFSA findings, during the re-evaluation, and the lack of credible data indicating safety concerns in oral applications, Colorcon maintains that E171 TiO2 is safe to use in food and pharmaceutical applications. Colorcon will continue to monitor ongoing discussions, along with the opinions published by EFSA with regard to the safety of TiO2.
TiO2 continues to be a key pigment and opacifier used in Colorcon’s film coating formulations providing a wide color palette and excellent consistency.
