On sanitation in the skies, oozing pink slime, and other air travel matters
The FDA just “cracked down” on major airline food supplier Gate Gourmet’s Honolulu operations (read the article). In an inspection this year they found:
- Live cockroaches
- Dirty utensils
- An oozing, pink slime (was it alive? they don’t say)
- Trash cans near food
That reminded me of a tip one of my flight attendant friends gave me: don’t go into airplane bathrooms in bare feet. Or in only socks. Wear shoes. The floors of airplane bathrooms never get cleaned, and they’re home to more forms of life than your local zoo.
