Italian term or phrase: Bianco di piombo detto anche biacca
As in previous question, this is one ingredient found, guess it should not have been used: la presenza di bianco di piombo detto anche " biacca" do not have any more context, Tkx

Explanation:
Can easily be found by googling "biacca" or "bianco di piombo". I don't see why this is a particularly difficult term, sorry.

If you google "biacca", the first hit that you will get will be the first link I have referred to, also pointed out by philgoddard.
Why is it that you can't trust Google?? All you have to do is use your common sense when searching for terms. If you don't trust Google, then you shouldn't rely on the answers you get in this forum, because I'll bet that 99,9% of the answers and responses given here are based on searching through Google or other search engines...

Asker: Because I cannot completely trust Google, got that and researched it too but did not find Biacca, I know it was called like that but did not know if I had to leave it like that
