A flight attendant working in Turkey said she was horrified when she found a freshly severed snake head in her food.
According to The Independent, citing aviation blog One Mile at a Time, the shocking incident took place July 21 on a SunExpress flight between Ankara, Turkey, and Düsseldorf, Germany.
The flight attendant aforesaid that she saw the head of a small snake hiding among potatoes and vegetables during lunch.
The reptile’s head can be seen in the center of the food tray in the video posted to Twitter.
A spokesman for SunExpress told Turkish media that the incident was “completely unacceptable,”.
The airline and food supplier contracts are currently on hold and an investigation has been launched.
The airline said in an interview with The Independent that maintaining the highest level of quality of service we provide to passengers on our aircraft is “our top priority” and ensures a comfortable and safe flight for both passengers and staff.
However, the seller denied that the snake’s head could have come from anywhere.
According to the report, Sancak’s onboard service states that they did not deliver foreign matter that is claimed to be in food during cooking.
The relatively fresh-looking snake head may have been added later because the food according to the catering company, was cooked at 280 degrees Celsius
