Why Mayonnaise Can Be Harmful for Kids!

Is Mayonnaise Harmful for Your Health?

Mayonnaise is a popular food item used in sandwiches, burgers, and salads. Kids and adults both enjoy it, especially with fast food. But do you know that eating mayonnaise — especially the one made with raw eggs — can be harmful to your health?

Why Is Raw Egg Mayonnaise Risky?

Recently, the Tamil Nadu Government banned mayonnaise made from raw eggs. The reason is Salmonella bacteria, which can grow in raw eggs and lead to food poisoning.

Possible Health Problems:

Fever

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Stomach pain

In serious cases, it may even require hospitalization.

Storage and Hygiene Matter

Even eggless mayonnaise can be unsafe if:

It's not stored in a refrigerator

It's kept in unhygienic conditions (like street stalls or fast food shops)

Poor hygiene increases the risk of bacterial contamination.

Mayonnaise is high in saturated fat and calories, which can lead to:

• Obesity
• High cholesterol
• Heart disease
• Eating mayo regularly is not good for your heart and weight.

What Can You Do?

• Avoid raw egg mayo
• Choose eggless or pasteurized mayo
• Buy from trusted brands
• Always store in the fridge

Conclusion

The government ban on raw egg mayonnaise is a step to protect public health. Stay informed, and choose safer, healthier food options for yourself and your family.
