The Telangana government has extended the prohibition on the production, sale and storage of mayonnaise prepared from raw eggs across the State for another year, citing public health concerns.

The Commissioner of Food Safety, Telangana, issued the order under Section 30(2)(a) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, extending the ban with effect from October 30, 2026, to October 29, 2027. The notification was published in the Telangana Gazette (No. 984) on Wednesday, November 4.

The order prohibits the production, sale and storage of mayonnaise prepared from raw eggs throughout Telangana for one more year. The Commissioner exercised the powers vested under the Food Safety and Standards Act in the interest of public health.

The notification specifically covers mayonnaise prepared from raw eggs and does not extend the prohibition to all varieties of mayonnaise.
