Compliance & trust. Our edible luster dust is based on natural mica and manufactured in our GMP workshop, certified FDA / Kosher / ISO 9001. We offer both TiO₂-coated and TiO₂-free (clean-label) edible luster dust by model — the TiO₂-free series is designed for brands targeting EU clean-label and titanium-dioxide-free requirements. Since the EU removed E171 (titanium dioxide) from its food-additives list in 2022, our E171-free edible luster dust is a forward-compatible alternative for food and beverage decoration. For packaging compliance, our sample plastic jars have passed SGS testing against EU PPWR. TDS / SDS / COA and certificates are available on request.
Packaging complies with Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) - verified by SGS testing. Contact us for a copy of the report.
