An Amsterdam-bound Delta Airlines flight has been forced to make an emergency landing at JFK after passengers were served “contaminated food.”
Passengers aboard Delta flight 136 out of Detroit, Mich., were reportedly served a portion of the in-flight meal service that was spoiled, according to the Daily Mail.
“Delta flight 136 from Detroit to Amsterdam diverted to New York’s JFK early Wednesday morning after it was discovered that a portion of the in-flight meal service was spoiled,” a Delta Airlines spokesperson told the outlet.
Flight attendants contacted medical experts on the ground, who immediately diverted the plane to JFK as it was about to begin its journey across the Atlantic.
The flight landed safely at JFK around 4 a.m. on Wednesday.
Passengers were met by medical personnel upon arrival at the New York City airport.
The flight, which departed from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport just before 11 p.m. on Tuesday, had 277 passengers onboard and was set to land in the Netherlands at 4:15 a.m. local time on July 4.
It is not yet known how many passengers or crew members fell ill as a result of eating the spoiled food, if any.
