A traveler asked whether in-flight food on Air India, particularly salads served on long-haul flights from Delhi to the United States, is safe to consume. The concern stems from a sensitivity to tap water and a preference for only fully cooked foods while traveling in India to avoid illness.
The traveler typically avoids raw items like salads due to potential exposure to untreated water, and instead follows a strict diet of cooked foods when on the ground. The question is whether airline-served salads would be a safe option during the flight or if they carry similar risks.
