    An administrative fine of OMR 1000 will be imposed on anyone who produces, imports or markets food products to which titanium dioxide (E171) is added.

    His Excellency Dr. Saud bin Hamoud Al Habsi, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources issued Ministerial Resolution No. 11/2023 amending some provisions of the Food Safety Regulations. It was decided to add a new item in the appendix of violations and administrative fines related to food safety.

    The first article of the decision stipulates that an administrative fine of OMR 1,000 will be imposed on the production, import or marketing of food products to which titanium dioxide (E171) is added.

    The 2nd article said that this decision shall take effect 6 months after the date of publication.

    Titanium dioxide, also known as E171, is commonly used as a white colourant in food to enhance the bright white color or opacity of foods. It’s often found in chewing gum, coffee creamers, candies, pastries, chocolates, and cake decorations.
