Delta Air Traces needed to droop sizzling meal service on greater than 200 flights out of its Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport hub over the previous a number of days due to a “food safety issue.”
Delta mentioned that operations from the power had been shut down and sizzling meals can be managed by different kitchens.
“During a recent inspection at a DTW kitchen, Delta’s catering partner was notified of a food safety issue within the facility,” Delta mentioned in a press release on Sunday. “Delta and its catering partner immediately shut down hot food production and subsequently suspended all activity from the facility. Hot food and other onboard provisioning will be managed from other facilities.”
A message to a flight crew on Friday mentioned first-class meals could not be loaded due to “an unforeseen supply chain issue” and that the flight could be stocked with further snacks.
The Meals and Drug Administration didn’t instantly reply to requests for touch upon Sunday.
The provider mentioned no worker or buyer diseases had been reported, and that it gave affected clients journey vouchers or frequent flyer miles as compensation.
Airways serve 1000’s of meals to passengers a day, typically by means of third-party catering kitchens. Do & Co., which works with Delta, did not instantly remark.
In July, a Detroit-to-Amsterdam Delta flight diverted to New York due to a report of spoiled rooster, forcing the provider to restrict meals to pasta for a number of days on sure flights.
