On December 21, 2021, the order suspending the placing on the market of foods containing the additive E 171 (titanium dioxide – TiO2) was published in the French Official Journal No. 304.

Pending the Commission regulation banning the use of this additive at the European level (during 2022) and in order to ensure that no new
