Speak about a plain meal.
After “spoiled” meals on a Delta Airlines flight forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing at JFK International Airport on Wednesday, the carrier is sticking to pasta just for lots of its international flights, CNBC reported.
An estimated 70 people on the trip from Detroit to Amsterdam fell sick from the contaminated food, which contained black mold, sources told The Post.
The Delta route had a flight last winter during which maggots shockingly fell onto passengers.
Within the wake of this week’s gag-worthy incident, about 75 international flights on Wednesday and an identical number on Thursday were served only the Italian favorite.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Delta teams have proactively adjusted our in-flight meal service on quite a lot of international flights,” an organization spokeswoman told CNBC.
Exactly how prevalent are foodborne diseases on planes? A 2007 research paper said that while incidents are “quite unusual in the trendy era,” it could be “unimaginable to estimate the true burden of disease.”
On top of that, while the Food and Drug Administration requires inspections of airline caterers — with as many as 22 severe safety problems per visit — penalties are rarely given, in accordance with NBC News.
That’s despite reports in recent times of dangerous bacteria corresponding to Listeria monocytogene being found in the course of the testing of some airline caterers.
“Oh, it’s negligent,” Roy Costa, an environmental health inspector, told the outlet. “What you see here’s a repeated pattern where they’re not following the principles … It’s very, very clear that they’ve a possible risk.”
The FDA only looks on the caterers behind airlines about every three to 5 years. Also they are commonly exempt from the agency’s food code and safety rules, allowing fewer inspections “when time and opportunity allow,” in accordance with an agency manual.
Perhaps adding insult to injury, Gate Gourmet, a caterer doing business with Delta and other airlines, may strike at the tip of the month.
The walkout could occur as soon as July 30.
