On a recent Delta flight, passengers were served spoiled food which led to an emergency landing at JFK Airport. This incident highlights the importance of proper food safety protocols in the airline industry. Airlines must ensure that all food served on flights is fresh and safe for consumption to prevent such situations from occurring.
Passengers on the flight reported feeling ill after consuming the spoiled food, prompting the crew to take immediate action and divert the plane to JFK Airport. This incident not only inconvenienced passengers but also put their health at risk. Airlines have a responsibility to prioritize passenger safety and well-being, which includes serving safe and edible food during flights.
Delta Flight 136 was en route from Detroit to The Netherlands when some of the in-flight meal service was discovered to have been spoiled.
The flight with 277 customers onboard took off from Detroit around 11 p.m. landed safely at JFK around 4 a.m.
A spokesperson for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, said 14 of the plane's 277 passengers as well as 10 crew members were treated by medical personnel when the flight landed. None of them required hospitalization.
There were 277 passengers on board, but Delta officials haven't released a confirmed number of passengers who ate the spoiled food. A source with knowledge of the situation told CBS New York that about 70 passengers became sick after consuming the meal.
In addition, sources said black mold was reported to be on some of the food.
"Delta's Food Safety team has engaged our suppliers to immediately isolate the product and launch a thorough investigation into the incident," said Delta Corporate Communications Spokesperson Lisa Hanna. "This is not the service Delta is known for and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay in their travels."
