Titanium Dioxide is a synthetic colorant widely used to make products look brighter. It’s not essential. It has no nutritional value. It’s just there for appearance.

And yet, it’s everywhere.

🍬 That gum you chew? It’s in there.

🥛 That coffee creamer that makes your latte Instagram-worthy? Yep.

🦷 Your toothpaste? Sunscreen? Also there.

The European Union banned it in food in 2022 over concerns that it may accumulate in the body and cause DNA damage. Meanwhile, in the U.S., it’s still found in thousands of products. 🤯

At Michroma, we believe color should be clean, safe, and sustainable. That’s why we’re working on a natural, fungi-based white alternative—one that delivers performance without the risks. 🌱

Today is Macaron Day! But this year, things look a little different.

With the FDA officially banning Red Dye No. 3, brands face a challenge: how to reformulate without losing intensity—while keeping up with the demand for clean-label, sustainable solutions.

At Michroma, we see this as an opportunity. 🍄 Our fungi-based red delivers bold, stable color—without petrochemicals. A natural, scalable alternative that meets today’s regulations and sets the standard for tomorrow.

Synthetic dyes are on their way out . Is your brand ready? 🚀

Would you eat something that could damage your DNA? 😳

Titanium Dioxide is a synthetic colorant used to make food look whiter and brighter. It has no nutritional value—just a cosmetic effect. But here’s the real issue: studies suggest that it can accumulate in the body and cause DNA damage. 🚨

The European Union banned it in 2022 over these safety concerns, yet it’s still legal in the U.S. 🤯 You’ll find it in everything from candies and baked goods to dressings and even coffee creamers.

At Michroma, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between safety and appearance. That’s why we’re developing a natural, fungi-based white—clean, high-performing, and 100% TiO₂-free. 🌱

It's time for food and beauty products to look good without compromising health. The future of white is coming. Stay tuned and learn more about our ingredients at www.michroma.co

Big win for food safety! 🚫🍬

The FDA banned Red 3 from foods, drinks, and supplements, finally addressing its cancer risks after decades of use in candies, snacks, and more. This is a major step forward for healthier food choices!

At Michroma, we’ve spent five years harnessing the power of fungi and precision fermentation to create natural, safe, and sustainable colorants. We believe food should be colorful and free from harmful ingredients—because better food is better for people and the planet.

The time for better ingredients is now! 🌱
