Mayonnaise is one of the most popular sauces in the world. It is used in a variety of dishes ranging from salads to burgers. But recently there was information that mayonnaise may contain antibiotics . This has caused concern among people, as antibiotics can lead to various side effects and reduce the effectiveness of treating infections.
 
However, how true is this? Let's figure it out.
 
First of all, it is worth noting that the use of antibiotics in the production of mayonnaise is prohibited by law in most countries of the world, including Russia. This is because antibiotics can adversely affect human health, especially if they are consumed in large quantities.
 
However, there is a possibility that antibiotics can get into mayonnaise due to improper storage or use of raw materials. For example, if the eggs used to make mayonnaise were produced on a farm where the animals were treated with antibiotics, then traces of these drugs may remain on the eggs and get into the product.
 
Antibiotics can also be found in meat used to make mayonnaise. If the animal has been treated with antibiotics, then traces of these drugs may remain in the meat and get into the product.
 
However, don't panic. The chances of you finding antibiotics in mayonnaise are extremely low. Most mayonnaise companies monitor the quality of raw materials and adhere to all necessary safety standards.
 
If you are still worried about the possible content of antibiotics in the product, it is recommended to choose mayonnaise from trusted manufacturers and monitor the expiration date of the product.
 
In conclusion, we can say that antibiotics in mayonnaise are more a myth than a reality. However, do not forget about the possibility of traces of these drugs getting into the product due to improper storage or use of raw materials. Therefore, as with any other product, you should follow simple safety rules and choose products from trusted manufacturers.
