However, research from the Center for Food as Medicine and Longevity shows there may be something even scarier on board: drinking water.
Each sample was given a "Water Safety Score" test, which focused on five main factors:
Violations per aircraftMaximum Contaminant Level violations for E. coliIndicator-positive ratesDisinfecting and flushing frequenciesPublic noticesTwo of the ten major airlines scored highest: Delta (with a perfect score!) and Frontier. Following in third; Alaska Airlines.
Delta Air Lines: 5.00 (Grade A)Frontier Airlines: 4.80 (Grade A)Alaska Airlines: 3.85 (Grade B)Allegiant Air: 3.65 (Grade B)Southwest Airlines: 3.30 (Grade C)Hawaiian Airlines: 3.15 (Grade C)United Airlines: 2.70 (Grade C)Spirit Airlines: 2.05 (Grade D)JetBlue: 1.80 (Grade D)American Airlines: 1.75 (Grade D)Regional Airlines:

The Center for Food as Medicine and Longevity suggests "NEVER drink[ing] any water onboard that isn't in a sealed bottle" and "not drink[ing] coffee or tea onboard" as further safety precautions.
"Nearly all regional airlines need to improve their onboard water safety," said the director of the Center for Food as Medicine and Longevity, Charles Platkin, PhD, JD, MPH.
