Egypt discusses titanium dioxide controversy
The seizure of quantities of titanium dioxide in Egypt has raised concerns about its use in coloring and beautifying food products, especially sugarcane juice, where it is used to improve the product's appearance and give it a whiter color. The substance, known by the code "E171," has been widely used in industries such as paints, paper, and cosmetics, and was previously used in food products as well. However, the European Union stopped its use in 2022 due to potential health concerns. It is noteworthy that the natural color of sugarcane juice is often light green or golden, and the presence of a very white hue or unusual residues may indicate unnatural addition, warranting caution when consuming the product. The surveillance campaign led to investigations and measures against violations to ensure consumer safety.
