Rodent droppings, roaches found in airline food prep
Not only do airlines charge you for it… it’s infested with roaches and mice droppings, according to a report by USA Today.

The newspaper reports that the major facilities that prepare airline food had numerous health and sanitation violations. Among them: improper temperatures, use of unclean equipments, poor hygiene by employees, cockroaches, flies, mice (including their nesting materials) and inadequate pest control. These included airline caterers, LSG Sky Chefs and Gate Gourmet, according to its report.

But the number of meals served by airlines is on the decline. On that note, Eatocracy’s editor bemoans the state of meals on a plane.

2. Perhaps LSG gets their food from the same place Angel Stadium does.

6. Just eat up and think of it as a way to build immunity. To everything. (I'm kidding.)

8. Having worked in various restaurants off and on for years I can say
You seriously don't want to know. You really, really don't.

The inspection process... HA. The shit I've seen overlooked.

9. It is much better to buy the food, take it home, prepare it yourself
Then you have some confidence that it has been properly inspected, cleaned, and prepared in sanitary conditions.
