"Had the worst experience in @indigo.6e Today @fssai_safefood @ficsi_foodssc

I will Lodge an official complain via email soon.
But as a Public Health professional I want to know despite of knowing the quality of Sandwich was not good and informing the Flight attendant prior she still continued to serve sandwiches to other passengers . There were kids , elderly and other passengers …. What if any one catches infection.
.
A polite note or informing the Passengers would have saved them from eating the Sandwich.
I immediately rushed or conveyed her after consuming one bite but all she said ‘I will replace it with some other thing.’ I will bring it to department notice and later came with a Goodie. Which I refused to take. I didn’t wanted to create a panic situation ….
but Her first Action should have been to make other passenger aware so that They make an informed Decision of Consuming the Sandwich or not.
.
You are trained to save our lives if god forbidden any thing happens but shouldn’t this be Included in the same SOP.
.
1. The quality need to be questioned
2. Despite of having the knowledge why did she served to other fellow passenger.
.

I brought this issue under consideration to Create awareness … I dnt need any
Compensation or Refund ….
Just one assurance that Passenger Health & Safety should be your Top most Priority," her Instagram post reads.
