Abstract

In 2021 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that "A concern for genotoxicity of TiO2 particles that may be present in E 171 could therefore not be ruled out.". A detailed review of the genotoxicity of titanium dioxide (TiO ) was subsequently published by Kirkland et al. (20...
