Skittles Titanium dioxide Lawsuit! Is it safe to eat? #shorts
Is candy safe to eat? You may have heard of the skittles lawsuit involving the food additive titanium dioxide. The lawsuit accuses Mars Inc. the maker of skittles of knowingly using an unsafe ingredient in its product. Is titanium dioxide dangerous? What is titanium dioxide? Does skittles contain a dangerous chemical?
The food additive titanium dioxide is under a lot of scrutiny for its links to cancer in animal studies. It has been banned as a food additive in the European Union, but is still allowed in Canada, Great Britain and the United States.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an inorganic chemical commonly used as a whitener in products like candy, toothpaste, sunscreen and household paint. TiO2 pigments are valued at over $13 billion.
TiO2 has been linked to serious health problems including intestinal inflammation, damage to the immune system and cancer in animal studies. This data empowered France to implement a total ban on TiO2 in 2020 and the entire European Union followed in February of 2022. Even the defendant of this lawsuit, Mars Inc. committed in 2016 to phasing out the use of TiO2. However, according to the lawsuit, they have failed to do so.
Is TiO2 dangerous? One one hand the European Union considers it a health risk and has banned its use. On the other hand the American, Canadian and British governments says its safe.
Good Luck and Good Chemistry!
