Woman Claims Air Canada Served Expired Beef
3 Dec
Summary
- A traveler alleged receiving an expired meal on Air Canada.
- The debated dates were written in the Canadian day/month/year format.
- Many users corrected the traveler's interpretation of the dates.
A traveler's recent experience on an Air Canada flight ignited a widespread online discussion regarding the expiry dates of in-flight meals. The passenger shared a video alleging that her beef dish had expired months before consumption. She presented the date as November 5, 2025, and expressed her dismay.
However, the majority of commenters quickly identified that the date format used in Canada is day, month, and year. This clarification suggests the meal's expiry date was actually November 5, 2025, making it well within its use-by period. The incident highlighted common misunderstandings related to international date conventions.
This situation also brings to light broader concerns about airplane food quality. Another influencer previously advised passengers against consuming in-flight meals, citing artificial additives used to enhance taste due to altered passenger palates at high altitudes. He noted that the dry cabin air and low pressure can affect digestion, potentially leading to bloating and discomfort.
