– We're sorry
Delta Air Lines says it takes food safety seriously and is investigating the incident.
“This is not the service Delta is known for, and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and delay to their flights,” the spokesperson said.
The plane left New York on Wednesday afternoon and landed safely in Amsterdam 16 hours later than scheduled.
The flight was stopped due to explosive diarrhea.

On Friday, September 1 of last year, Delta's eight-hour flight between Atlanta and Barcelona was canceled.
An hour into the flight, when the plane was over Richmond, Virginia, the captain decided to turn around.
