Nano inventory12/31/2023 ![]() Peer-reviewed evidence suggests nano harm - FOE The FOE report calls for a moratorium on further commercial releases of food products, food packaging, food contact materials and agrochemicals that contain nanomaterials until safety and labelling laws are established.Īuthor Ian Illuminato claims that nanomaterials – of 1,000 nanometers (nm) or less, although the fluid definition and US regulations around it are precisely the problem, he says – are known to be present in 94 products on the market everything from doughnuts to drinks – principally in the form of TIO2. The double rebuttal follows similar denials from large US dairy firms Dannon, Daisy Brand and Lactalis American Group, who were also cited by FOE, to our sister site. “So far I’ve learned that titanium dioxide is not used in any US Powerade products,” he said. In a further twist to the saga, the scientist behind the dataset Friends of the Earth says it used - taken from the PEN inventory of consumer products using nanotechnology - says the inventory misrepresented his conclusions in a 2013 study, which found titanium in some drinks but not TIO2.Ĭoca-Cola media relations director Petro Kacur told us internal enquiries led him to the same conclusion. I’m not sure where Friends of the Earth sourced the information,” Dahncke said. ![]() ![]() “I checked this and the SoBe product mentioned does not use this ingredient. PepsiCo spokesman Jeff Dahncke told that PepsiCo’s SoBe Elixir Orange Cream, cited as a source of nano-sized titanium dioxide (TIO2) in the report, does not even use the FDA-approved beverage brightener and whitener, also called E171 in the EU.
