EU Court revokes the classification of Titanium Dioxide as a carcinogen

The European Court of Justice annuls the cancer classification for titanium dioxide that was introduced in Regulation 2020/217. The Court considered that the Commission made a manifest error in its assessment of the reliability and acceptability of the study on which the classification was based. It also found that the Commission infringed the criterion according to which that classification can relate only to a substance that has the intrinsic property to cause cancer.
