Inflight food as complex as the plane.
There is nothing really new here, my job means that I travel around a lot. I’m used to spending far more time than I’d really like in passport control queues and in horribly air conditioned compartments.
The one thing that is new is that this time while I was deciding that I wouldn’t eat the limp looking roll that appeared in front of me, I actually bothered to read the packaging.
Kessler(Ham) & Cheese Roll
May contain: Traces of Celery, Fish, Crustaceans, Molluscs, Egg, Nuts, Mustard, Sesame, Sulphur Dioxide & Sulphites, & Products thereof.
Manufactured by Flight Catering Co.Ltd. Malta
Crustaceans? Sulphites? Is there anything that it might not contain?
Now, I do appreciate that some people have allergies, and that therefore labelling like this is a good thing, but it seems a bit strange to me that they didn’t bother to mention the gluten in the bread.

As someone who is gluten intolerant in a big way I am constantly frustrated by the lack of clear labelling on food packaging. Gluten intolerance if now a major issue in the lives of huge number of people, yet to find if products contain it requires great patience in reading all the fine print, which is not always clear. How hard would it be to have the words “Contains Gluten” above the ingredients list. This would cut a lot of time off a supermarket shop!
