Titanium Dioxide Skincare-Do M&M Have Titanium Dioxide

As of my last update, M&M’s, the popular candy coated chocolates, have historically contained titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is a common food additive used as a whitening agent in many products, including candies, to give them a bright, white appearance.

However, in response to consumer concerns about the safety and potential health effects of titanium dioxide, Mars, Incorporated, the manufacturer of M&M’s, has indicated a commitment to remove it from their products. As of 2021, Mars was in the process of reformulating their recipes to eliminate titanium dioxide and replace it with other ingredients that would maintain the desired appearance and quality of their products.

It’s important to check the ingredients list on the packaging of the specific M&M’s product you are purchasing, as formulations can change over time and may vary by region. If you are looking for the most current information, you might want to check Mars’s official statements or the product packaging.
