Mayonnaise ban leaves food outlets in Hyderabad scratching their heads

The Telangana Food Safety department has been on roll over recent months with its enforcement drives, and its culmination in the ban of mayonnaise made with raw eggs on October 30 has left many fast food joints confused and scratching their heads. The ban will have an impact on outlets that sell items like burgers and shawarmas.

A day after the ban in Hyderabad, some



outlets out of precaution stopped the making of mayonnaise due to the order, while others seemingly continued to use it sparingly. “There is no shawarma made in Hyderabad without mayonnaise. If the government wanted to curb contamination, they should have issued guidelines on how to make it and store it instead,” said a worker at a burger joint in Tolichowki who used to prepare the condiment everyday.
