Tamil Nadu government extends ban on raw-egg mayonnaise through April 7, 2027
Food manufacturers and caterers cannot make, pack, transport or sell raw‑egg mayonnaise
Change
Tamil Nadu's Commissioner of Food Safety and Drug Administration has extended, under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, the state's ban on mayonnaise prepared from raw eggs for one year from April 8, 2026.
Why it matters
Manufacture, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution and sale of mayonnaise prepared from raw eggs are prohibited within Tamil Nadu under the Commissioner's order. The order is issued under relevant sections of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, making non‑compliance subject to regulatory enforcement under that law.
Implications
- — Food-manufacturing teams and catering or restaurant operators in Tamil Nadu must stop production, packaging, transport and in‑state sale of mayonnaise made from raw eggs immediately — failure exposes them to regulatory enforcement under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
- — Procurement and logistics teams at distributors and wholesalers supplying Tamil Nadu must suspend shipments of raw‑egg mayonnaise to the state immediately — consignments delivered for in‑state sale expose the operator to regulatory enforcement under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
