The Telangana government is considering a ban on egg mayonnaise, removing it from eateries and supermarkets.
The ban is being considered due to multiple instances of food poisoning associated with the popular dip. Food safety officials have reportedly linked at least ten contamination cases in the state this year to egg-based mayonnaise.
The latest incident involved four individuals from Secunderabad who were hospitalized last week with acute diarrhoea and vomiting after consuming shawarma filled with mayonnaise.
If implemented, this ban would make egg mayonnaise the first food product prohibited in the state.
