A recent lawsuit alleges that Skittles consumers “are at heightened risk of a host of health effects” because Skittles uses titanium dioxide (TiO2). TiO2 is considered an inert and safe material, and for decades has been used in a range of consumer products including house paint, ceramics, paper, and printing inks. In fact, you can find TiO2 in consumable products such as milk, coffee creamer, salad dressing, chocolate, chewing gum, sauces, toothpaste, and even vitamin supplements.
