What Happens to Your Confiscated Airport Food?

Ever had some food taken from you at an airport? It happens, every single day it happens as thousands of travellers try to bring back a wonderful taste of their trip.

But what actually happens to the food? Is it all eaten at the end of the day as you suspiciously imagine it is while watching your favourite wine or sausage dumped in the bin?

This video actually goes behind the scenes at John F. Kennedy International Airport and follows the food from the bin to processing.

You can relax in the knowledge that your stash isn’t enjoyed by the airport staff in a big soiree at the end of each day, instead it’s sorted, processed, poked, chopped and eventually discarded.

Take a look.
