Delta flight from Detroit to the Netherlands diverted over spoiled food

A Delta flight from Detroit to Amsterdam was diverted early Wednesday morning after passengers consumed spoiled food.

“Delta flight 136 from Detroit to Amsterdam diverted to New York’s JFK early Wednesday morning after reports that a portion of the Main Cabin in-flight meal service were spoiled,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business. 

Flight crews consulted with medical experts, who recommended the diversion to New York.
