“We asked for samples but we haven’t received any samples. We are a large company serving all domestic and foreign airlines since 1994. We have been providing catering services to SunExpress company since 2018. This is the first time we have encountered such an event. For the last month there has been talk about problems such as snails and insects and finally the snake went up to his head,” Sancak said.

“We think this issue is not about us and our legal department is looking into this matter. We don’t think it is from us, but we are mentioned and we are very sorry,” Sancak said in a statement reports Simpleflying.
The company further mentioned that it is near impossible for a snake head to come from their kitchen as the meals as cooked at 280 degrees celsius. About previous complaints of snails, the company said that “SunExpress is a valuable client in our country and a polular airline in Europe. We did not use any of the foreing objects that were supposedly in the food when cooking due to technical and thermal conditions used in th in-flight catering facilities,” reports Simpleflying.
