Titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide is a white, powdery substance often used as a food ingredient. It isn't derived from plants, grains, or dairy, but it is produced synthetically in labs.

To make titanium dioxide, scientists start with minerals containing titanium, then process them to create the fine white powder. This powder is what ends up being used in various products, including food.

You may see titanium dioxide listed on food labels because it can help improve the appearance of foods by making them look whiter. It is commonly found in items like sweets, candies, pastries, and even sauces to give them a more appealing look.
