The ban on production, storage, and sale, is effective immediately from Wednesday, October 30 under section 18 (1) (f) of Food Safety and Standards Act 2006. It is being prohibited in the view of food poisoning risk associated with raw egg-based mayonnaise.
“As per the observations during enforcement activities and complaints received from the public in the state of Telangana, Mayonnaise made from raw-eggs is suspected to be a cause of food poisoning in several incidents in the last few months,” a notification issued by the food safety department read.
