Tiêu đề	Draft Commission Regulation amending the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 laying down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards specifications for titanium dioxide
Tóm tắt	The text aims at updating the current specifications for the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171) in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012, in line with the conclusions and the recommendations of the re -evaluation of the safety of this food  additive  by  the  European  Food  Safety  Authority  (EFSA),  as  well  as  a  later  EFSA scientific  opinion  on  the  specifications  for  E  171  with  respect  to  its  particle  size characteristics.  The main proposed amendment to the current specifications for the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171) concerns the inclusion of particle size parameters, which are specific for titanium dioxide used as a food additive. In addition, the  definition of the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171) in the current specifications is amended to remove the option for its  coating  with  silica  and/or  alumina,  since  according  to  the  information  provided  by business  operators  titanium  dioxide  used  as  a  food  additive  does  not  have  coatings  or surface treatments.  Moreover, new technically achievable limits for the impurities of lead, mercury, cadmium and antimony in titanium dioxide (E171) are included, which are lower than the current limits.
