Workers at Flying Food Group, an airline caterer operating at Los Angeles International Airport, have filed a new complaint alleging that meals were served on dishes contaminated with mold, maggots, and flies. The employees also reported cockroaches, missing soap in sanitation areas, and broken truck chillers that could compromise food safety.
The allegations, detailed in a complaint submitted this week, paint a troubling picture of hygiene and equipment failures at the facility. According to the workers, the issues persisted despite prior warnings, raising concerns about the safety of meals provided to airline passengers. The company has not yet responded to the latest filing.
Flying Food Group, which supplies meals to multiple carriers at LAX, faces potential regulatory scrutiny if the claims are substantiated. Health officials have not announced an inspection, but the complaint adds to a pattern of workplace grievances against the caterer. The employees are urging immediate corrective action to prevent foodborne illness risks.
