Is Titanium Dioxide Safe-Does Skittles Have Titanium Dioxide

As of my last update, Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) was used in some Skittles products as a color additive to make the candies more vibrant and to provide a smooth, opaque appearance. It is often listed as E171 on ingredient labels in products sold in the European Union.

However, due to health concerns raised by consumers and regulatory bodies, Mars Wrigley, the manufacturer of Skittles, has been working on phasing out Titanium Dioxide from their products. For example, in the EU, Mars has committed to removing it from all its products by a certain deadline.

If you are considering purchasing Skittles or any other food product and want to avoid Titanium Dioxide, it’s best to check the ingredient list on the packaging or contact the manufacturer for the most current information. Keep in mind that formulations can change, and companies may reformulate their products in different regions or over time.
