Air India - Food/Water/Ice/Fruit/Salad Safe to eat?

I am flying First Class on Air India next year, and I have with out a doubt the worst stomach ever, (I now right). I wanted to know a) if the food is safe on Air India to eat - Water, Ice, Fruit, Salad etc? And if anyone has ever ordered the BLAND meal in First Class? (or any class).

Thank you so much!

Of course the food in AI is safe to eat - airlines at same airport would be ordering from the same set of caterers.

Only drink bottle water. Avoid salad and fruit.

Take an electric kettle on board to boil the water, and a knife to peel the fruit. Send the meals back to be reheated, because then they are disinfected. Speak to the FAs in British-accented Hindi, they respect that.

air food catering

probably as clean and as safe as it gets.

have seen a production facility for airplane food and it was cleaner than some hospital food prep areas i have been to.

i would not worry about getting delhi belly.

I echo the sentiments of others as to the food being safe to eat from a hygiene standpoint - the different types of meals aren't going to have any different standards of hygiene.

However, if your stomach as is weak as you think, some of the more spiced dishes (curries, kebabs, biryani / pulao) might not go down too well if you haven't had them before. In that case, the Bland meal might be a safer alternative.
