I'm particularly interested by this bit. Could you explain a little bit more. Is all of the uneaten food disposed of even if still within best-before? Just hot? Just after the return leg of a journey?

I despise food waste and am keen to learn more.

Thanks!
That is correct, all food we have ever served on BA is disposed of. E.g. The basket service for instance if we open the bulk packaging on the biscuits or any snack they were not repackaged for another flight. Any food product that went back to DHL was disposed of.

Now as for M&S product I can not say 100% but most of the fresh food has a very short shelf life and we have very strict handling guidelines in regard to chilling and storage. To maintain that onice food returns to DHL from the SH operation would be a nightmare. But I will find out this information for you .

Safe flying

edit : the M&S snacks and dry product is re used
