IndiGo passenger claims screw found in sandwich; airline says incident not reported during journey
New Delhi, Feb 13: An IndiGo passenger has claimed that he found a screw in a sandwich served by the airline, which on Tuesday said the issue was not reported to it during the journey.
The passenger shared his experience on social media along with a picture of the sandwich that he had after deboarding the aircraft.
"We are aware of the image circulating on social media with reference to a customer sharing their experience on flight 6E-904 operating between Bengaluru- Chennai on February 1, 2024. The issue was not reported by the passenger during the journey," IndiGo said in a statement.
The airline said it regretted the inconvenience caused to the passenger but did not specify details about the image that was being circulated.
"Our in-flight meals are sourced from reputable and highly regarded caterers to maintain the highest standards of quality and hygiene. We regret the inconvenience caused to the passenger and remain committed to providing the best possible in-flight experience and ensuring compliance with all food and hygiene standards," it said.
On January 2, food safety regulator FSSAI had issued a show cause notice to IndiGo for serving unsafe food to a passenger, days after a worm was found in a sandwich served onboard a flight.
The incident had happened onboard flight 6E 6107 from Delhi to Mumbai on December 29. The airline had apologised after the passenger shared a video on social media.
Details about further action taken by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on the issue could not be immediately ascertained.
On January 17, FSSAI had asked airlines and flight caterers to comply with its food safety regulations and provide detailed information about items served to passengers through proper labelling.
The FSSAI had convened a meeting with leading flight caterers and airlines on January 16 to evaluate and enhance the existing food safety protocols within the airline catering industry.

Allu Arjun sent to 14-day judicial custody in 'Pushpa 2' stampede case
Hyderabad: Telugu actor Allu Arjun has been remanded to 14-day judicial custody in connection with the stampede that occurred during the premiere of his latest movie, Pushpa 2: The Rise. The incident claimed the life of Revathi, a 35-year-old woman, and left her eight-year-old son hospitalised.
The stampede happened on December 4 at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre when a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor. Following the tragedy, a case was filed against Allu Arjun and the theatre management under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), based on a complaint by Revathi's family.
Revathi’s husband, Bhaskar, today expressed his willingness to withdraw the case, stating that Allu Arjun was not responsible for the incident. "I was not aware of the arrest and Allu Arjun has nothing to do with the stampede in which my wife passed away," he told reporters.
The actor was taken into custody on December 13. He has also sought the Telangana High Court’s intervention to quash the FIR against him.
Further updates on the case are awaited.
