Food Safety Alert: Detection of E 171 Titanium Dioxide in Biscuit Products
On October 1, 2025, a food safety incident was reported involving the detection of E 171 titanium dioxide in biscuit products flavored with banana vanilla and chocolate. This incident was documented in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) and originates from Ukraine.
E 171, a food additive commonly used as a coloring agent, has raised health concerns in recent years due to its potential effects on human health. The presence of this additive in food products, particularly in those aimed at children, necessitates immediate attention and action from food safety authorities and consumers alike.
Consumers are advised to check their pantry for any biscuit products that may contain these flavors and to refrain from consumption until further guidance is provided by health authorities. It is crucial for manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with safety regulations and do not contain harmful substances.
Food safety is a shared responsibility, and awareness of potential hazards in food products is essential for protecting public health. Stay informed and prioritize safety when selecting food items, especially those intended for children.
