Posted on January 6, 2010 with 1 Comment

The well know airline caterer LSG Sky Chefs was recently investigated and the Food and Drug Administration sent a letter to the company citing many unsanitary and disgusting things going on in Sky Chefs’ Denver kitchen. The last time Sky Chefs had problems with the FDA was back in 1996. Sky Chefs’ main clients are Delta, American and United Airlines.

“According to an FDA letter to the company, inspectors who examined the Denver facility found live and dead roaches “too numerous to count” in several areas of the kitchen, including at least 40 live insects in the silverware station.

The FDA said inspectors saw employees touching food with bare hands or while wearing unwashed gloves. They also noted problems with the building, including water dripping from the ceiling into utensil-cleaning areas and holes in walls that could house insects or vermin.”

Sky Chefs’ said they fired their general manager and head chef, they claim that they are fully complying with the FDA and plan to open the kitchen back up soon. ABC first reported about this .
