Agreed. I would expect a replacement dish. Imagined if this happened in an upscale restaurant and someone touched my food with bare hands in front of me, I'm sure anyone of us would raise hell to the maximum extent. Also I am quite sure the US FDA will be very interested as anyone with basic food safety training knows this is a big no-no to touch prepared food with bare hands.
Perhaps its CX's newest operating directive in cost savings: Pax requests Kosher/Muslim/Veg Meal? Mark on PNR, remove Ham/Meat from plate and serve.
