Overview
- The Telangana Food Safety Department inspected 131 food establishments during a special drive and found five outlets using or storing mayonnaise made from raw eggs.
- Enforcement teams seized and destroyed 10 kilograms of the banned product on the spot and opened adjudication proceedings against the violating establishments.
- The prohibition began with a state notification on October 30, 2025, issued under Section 30(2)(a) of the Food Safety and Standards Act and remains in force through late October 2026.
- Authorities cite recent food‑poisoning incidents and the rapid growth of bacteria such as Salmonella in unpasteurised or improperly stored raw‑egg mayonnaise as the reason for the ban.
- Officials are urging the public to report suspected violations via the department’s X account @cfs_telangana or by calling 9100105795, and inspectors say further checks and legal action are expected.
