EU Court overturns titanium dioxide carcinogen classification: A salutary tale for toxicity assessment.
EU Court overturns titanium dioxide carcinogen classification: A salutary tale for toxicity assessment.

In a landmark decision, the EU Court of Justice ruled that 2017 decisions on carcinogenicity for TiO2  did not rely on valid evidence. The animal studies used were not relevant to humans and they failed to show an intrinsic cause of cancer. The court decision has implications for the EU ban of TiO2 in food.
