Airport Restaurants Facing Food Safety Issues

Bad news for travelers this holiday season -- a USA Today review of inspection records for nearly 800 restaurants at 10 airports exposed that food items are being served under dangerous conditions.

Seattle-Tacoma International, Reagan National, Dallas-Fort Worth International and JFK Airports are just several airports mentioned in the study that are coming under scrutiny for violations such as cross-contamination and vermin.

Grab-and-go items pose a constant threat. "Grab-and-go coolers often don't keep sandwiches and salads cold enough to stop dangerous pathogens," USA Today reports.

For specific findings, check out the complete article on USA Today.

Almost makes me glad my employer won't let me expense meals purchased at the airport!
