Airline Food Safety Gets Failing Grade

A recent USA Today investigation uncovered serious food-safety violations at three of the largest caterers supplying airline meals.

USA Today requested inspection reports since January 2009 for the two biggest airline caterers, LSG Sky Chefs and Gate Gourmet, and a third large caterer, Flying Food Group. Combined, the three companies have 91 kitchens preparing in-flight food for many big U.S. and foreign airlines at U.S. airports.
