Titanium dioxide (E171) is an additive that is used in food as a colour. The function of food colours is to make food more visually appealing, to give colour to food that would otherwise be colourless, or to restore the original appearance of food. Titanium dioxide is used to provide whiteness and opacity to foods.
Our edible images on picture cakes are printed on an edible icing sheet. This sheet, prior to the ban of E171, was a bright white. Titanium Dioxide (E171) Free edible images are now a more translucent colour, which results in the finished image being a softer mix of colours.
Our sprinkles, colours, and sprays, will all be a softer colour version of the images we have on the website.
You will see this message on all cakes that are now E171 Free
Colours may be softer due to the removal of additive E171 from all products.
