Titanium dioxide
Titanium dioxide contains moderate levels of Salicylate, FODMAPs, Oligosaccharides, Sorbitol and Fructose. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateModerate
- FODMAPsModerate
- OligosaccharidesModerate
- SorbitolModerate
- FructoseModerate
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
No histamine route — it neither contains nor releases histamine, and does not inhibit DAO. Worth knowing all the same: additives of this kind are studied for their effect on the gut microbiota and intestinal inflammation, which can produce digestive symptoms that feel similar. That is a different mechanism, so avoiding it will not lower your histamine load.
- TyramineNone
No tyramine route. Tyramine is made by bacteria decarboxylating tyrosine, an amino acid — it needs a protein food and time. A synthetic colour or a mineral pigment has neither, so there is no mechanism by which it could contain or produce tyramine.
- SucroseNone
- LactoseNone
none — this is a mineral pigment with no connection to milk. It is listed here only because the name gets confused with dairy additives.
- NickelNone
- OxalatesNone
- GlutenNo
