  • Tamil Nadu has banned the manufacture, storage, and sale of mayonnaise made with raw eggs for one year.
  • This type of mayonnaise is considered a “high-risk food” that could cause food poisoning.
  • Mayonnaise is described as a “semi-solid emulsion containing egg yolk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and other seasonings served with food items such as shawarma.
  • Improper preparation and storage led to health issues due to contamination by salmonella typhimurium, salmonella enteritidis, escherichia coli and listeria monocytogenes.
  • The order came into effect on April 8, and was put into motion under the Section 30(2)(a) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
