GRAS is about burden of proof. If you want to introduce a novel food ingredient in the US, you need to demonstrate it's safe. GRAS grandfathers in everything, but there is still room for evidence to demonstrate that it is unsafe. This is how Sassafras root was banned in the '60s.
What I don't know is if the evidence for TiO2 chromosomal damage meets the bar for banning it.
