Airline Meals

One should not accept an airline meal if it is not double wrapped (aside from the kashrus issues of warming it in a non-kosher oven if it was not double wrapped) since the flight attendants may substitute it for non-kosher if there is no kosher meal available. There is a benefit for them because you will not be happy if you have no meal. �

Leaving Foods in Hospitals etc.

It is permitted to leave food (i.e. meat sandwich) in a communal refrigerator or freezer in a hospital without the proper seal. There is no concern of the non-Jew switching the kosher for non-kosher since there is no benefit for the non-Jew to do so. Furthermore, none of the people present are the owners, and they all realize that they should not be touching other people�s food. Nonetheless, the food should be sealed and labeled �do not touch�.�
