Titanium Dioxide sits in the middle of the catalogue's frequency range, carried by 0.96% of the 894,137 US products recorded here. Among the 11 additives with a page here, Titanium Dioxide has the 7th-largest footprint, behind MSG (9,430 products) and ahead of BHT (4,542). The mean position on the ingredient list is 18.7, deep in the weight-ordered label, which is where trace-quantity additives are declared. Its closest companion on a label is Red 40, which shows up on 42.9% of these labels against 5.4% of the catalogue at large, roughly 8 times its background rate, so the two are being formulated together rather than meeting by coincidence.
2 states have enacted a restriction naming Titanium Dioxide, while the FDA SAFFA record still lists it as "Prior Sanctioned". The statutes and their effective dates are listed below as recorded, not summarised. CSPI's Chemical Cuisine classification for it is "Avoid", which is CSPI's rating, not PlainFoodSafe's.

Methodology
Matches come from the parsed ingredient links in the PlainFoodSafe database: a product counts here when its OpenFoodFacts ingredient list resolves to the Titanium Dioxide record. The headline 8,542 is every matching product in the catalogue; the 5,225 listable figure is the subset that also carries a usable product name and brand, which is what the tables above can show by name. Regulatory status is read from the FDA SAFFA extract and the state-action table; the rating word is CSPI's own classification. See the full methodology for how the catalogue is built and dated. The additive status we quote is the FDA's own, so read it at the source: Verify with FDA Substances Added to Food → Source: OpenFoodFacts, https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data
Caveats and limitations
OpenFoodFacts is crowdsourced, so coverage varies by category and brand and a label recorded here may be out of date relative to the product on the shelf today, because reformulation is common and this catalogue reflects the snapshot it was built from, not a live audit of packaging. Ingredient parsing normalises label spellings and can miss unusual ones, so treat the counts as a floor rather than a census. Presence on a label says nothing about quantity, and nothing on this page is a statement about whether any product is safe for any particular person to eat; for that, read the Titanium Dioxide source record and the named regulators directly.
