And that reminds me, I never got around to posting a pink slime thread that Calpernia pointed to. Let me do that now.

"Mmmm, Pink Slime. Airline Food Causes Food Poisoning"

Jason L. Miller | Staff Writer | 2005-05-20


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "From the "Eww, that's gross" file, comes a food poisoning story involving contaminated carrots, airlines, and pink slime.

The tainted carrots were served with meals on several flights from Honolulu between August 22-24 last year for Delta, United, Northwest, Hawaiian and Aloha airlines. Forty-five people suffered food poisoning in 22 states, Japan, Australia, and American Samoa.

One lawsuit has already been filed against airline caterer Gate Gourmet Inc., who provided the meals.

This same Virginia and Switzerland based company was sent a warning letter by the FDA on April 21 regarding violations noted during a February inspection. Among the violations were a "pink slimy substance" dripping onto a washing machine conveyer belt, live cockroaches, flies, and mold on refrigerator windows."
