Is The Food Reused?
Most airlines throw uneaten food out after every flight. But that doesn’t mean what you’re eating is fresh, exactly. The majority of airplane meals are produced in industrial kitchens run by catering services contracted by the airlines.
These meal trays are usually claimed to be freshly prepared, but most plane food is made 12 to 72 hours before the flight and can be chilled for up to five days before being served – so if those salad leaves look a little wilted, you might want to push them aside and stick to the peanuts.
