Dear All;

I have visited one inflight catering company in the last week.I have observed while ramble in the kitchen,receiving area,backery and loading area company with the catering operation manager.I came across the meals (cheese sandwitches, cakes,pizza.etc )which come back or return from airlines checked by loading staff the and they throw the food except jucies and long life milke or UHT milke and this prosedure for safety as they said because they can not reuse pizza or sandwitches as new order that maybe spoiled so they discarded them.My question here if can anyone answer me.Do you have process for those discarded meals? I mean no especialist companies can take these large quantities of returne meals sandwiches and pizza in particular instead of chucking in the garbage?

waiting your thoughts.

Thanks

Best Regards

You should not reuse food that has been outside of your control especially high risk chilled foods. These meals will most likely have been temperature abused and there is also a risk of deliberate or accidental contamination.

Dear Hygienic,

You might find these two related threads of some interest although I'm not sure if either of them consider yr exact question.

IMO it all depends on what part of the world really. In my country, there are some firms that buy such leftover foods for piggeries/poultries etc. But they aren't any specialities involved, they just pick up the stuff and load them up for the livestock. This is also possible cuz there is no regulation that addresses this scenario.
