Titanium dioxide is a synthetic color additive that is permitted in foods in the U.S., European Union and elsewhere. It is a durable pigment that provides background whitening to a host of products: everything from plastics and paints to cosmetics, sunscreens, oral care products (toothpaste) and even food. For foods, it can be found in chewing gum, confections and frostings to name a few.
