Airline food 'putting passengers at risk'
The companies who supply in-flight food to most of the major US airlines are risking passengers' safety because of how the food is prepared, according to a new report.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found problems including cockroaches, rats and poor hygiene among workers at the three companies who provide food to Delta, American, United, Continental, US Airways and more.
The working conditions at LSG Sky Chefs, Gate Gourmet and Flying Food Group could lead to food poisoning outbreaks on flights, reports USA Today.
The companies operate 91 kitchens and together supply more than 100 million meals every year.
Roy Costa, a consultant and public health sanitarian, told the paper: "In spite of best efforts by the FDA and industry, the situation with in-flight catered foods is disturbing, getting worse and now poses a real risk of illness and injury to tens of thousands of airline passengers on a daily basis."
A representative from one of the companies involved - Gate Gourmet - said that the findings would be taken 'very seriously'.
