A passenger on Air India flight AI 101 from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) found a cockroach inside an omelette after feeding most of the meal to her two-year-old child. She claims that the child got food poisoning as a result on the September 17th flight.
Found a cockroach in the omelette served to me on the @airindia flight from Delhi to New York. My 2 year old finished more than half of it with me when we found this. Suffered from food poisoning as a result. @DGCAIndia @RamMNK pic.twitter.com/1Eyc3wt3Xw

Air India issued a statement saying that the incident has been reported to the caterer. It reads:
We are aware of a social media post by a passenger regarding a foreign object in the onboard meal offered to them on AI 101 operating from DEL to JFK on 17 September 2024. Air India works with reputed caterers who supply to leading airlines globally and have stringent SOPs and multiple checks to ensure the quality of meals served to our guests.”
This cockroach is not the only thing that has popped up in a meal in recent weeks. An SAS flight recently had a live mouse jump out of a meal and scurry across the aircraft. This caused the Airbus A320 to divert as the mouse posed a safety risk around concerns that it might chew through electrical wiring.
Anthony’s Take: This is disgusting. I’m not sure the food poisoning is related to the cockroach, but all around, yuck.
