Airline food with carrots blamed for food poisoning

The food poisoning 45 passengers suffered from after flying out of Honolulu
may be linked to the carrots served on the flights.
The meal with carrots was prepared by Gate Gourmet Inc., which is based in
Virginia and Switzerland and has business in 30 countries. It is an airline
food supplier for many airlines including Northwest, United, Delta, Hawaiian
and Aloha Airlines.
According to a state epidemiologist, the Gate Gourmet carrots served on the
flights may be linked to the food poisoning outbreak. But it is not certain
where the contamination occurred along the production line.
Gate Gourmet received a warning letter from FDA written on April 21 and
issued on May 1 for 10 failures to comply with the FDA standards. The
letter details the FDA inspectors¹ observations such as live cockroaches and
flies, and improper maintenance of foods and facility.
According to ABC News, Gate claimed that it followed the instruction of FDA
and improved their food preparation. And as a result, it actually passed a
recent FDA inspection.
A lawsuit has been filed Thursday against Gate Gourmet Inc., which included
the contaminated carrots in the meal served on several flights during the
period of last August 22 to 24.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff claimed he came down for three days with
nausea, diarrhea, cramps and fever after talking a flight from Honolulu to
Minneapolis. He was later diagnosed with Shigellosis caused by Shigella
bacteria.

The company is based in Virginia and... Switzerland. The last I heard,
Switzerland was still in Europe.

I had food poisoning from a 'restaurant' at ORD.

I also had an upset stomach whilst on a flight from Peru to Amsterdam.

My local Indian restaurant and takeaway is in Europe. Rumours that
terrorist organisations are negotiating for the chicken jalfrezi
recipe are currently being investigated.

Again this comes down to being certain it was that food. Presumably
you had been eating other stuff in the days leading up to the flight,
yeah?

We often had an upset stomach after travelling with KLM from Adam to
Milan. By a process of elimination we worked out that it was caused by
the orange juice.
PanAm was a different story, I was so ill I wanted to die.

A colleague and I travelled together, we were both very ill, the only
food we had eaten in common was the filth Pan Am served.
