You can get food poisoning from airline food. Diarrhea and vomiting are the most commonly reported symptoms & norovirus is the most commonly reported diagnosis. The risk of bacteria can be greater with airline food due to the lag time between when the food is prepared and when it’s served.

“My wife became ill(Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting & stomach cramps) a few hours from landing in Thailand following our long flight from the UK. We ended up taking her to the hospital the following day, where they confirmed that it seems like food poisoning. They put her on a drip and prescribed a series... See Moreof drugs to help manage the pain. She had not eaten since arriving in Thailand and couldn't eat anything or go anywhere but the hotel room for 3 more days, following she was only able to eat bland food for the following time in Thailand (2 week trip). We believe that it was the inflight turkey pastry provide a couple of hours prior to landing, it was not very warm and she wasn't able to finish it as she felt it tasted off. It was also one of the few things that only came in a cardboard case instead of the usual plastic sealed. See Less”
