Kosher airline meal

Many airlines offer the option of kosher meals to passengers if ordered in advance.

These not only contain food that is kosher, but also other features to aid observant Jews, such as copies of Tefilat HaDerech (the Traveler's Prayer) and prayers that are recited before and after eating and bread on which the mezonot blessing is recited, thereby enabling observant Jews to consume the bread without washing hands.

[1] Similarly styled meals that are packaged in double wrapping with verifiable kashrut certification are offered in a variety of other settings, such as cruise ships, hospitals, or catered events.

[5] Kosher airline meals started appearing as an option in the 1960s for Orthodox Jewish travelers.

[8] On Passover, meals containing chametz (bread which has leavened beyond 18 minutes) are sometimes served by mistake.
