A Delta flight en route from Detroit to Amsterdam faced an unexpected diversion to New York's Kennedy Airport early Wednesday. The cause: passengers being served spoiled food.

The red-eye flight departed from Detroit at around 11 pm Tuesday and landed in New York by 4 am local time, following reports that portions of the Main Cabin in-flight meal service had gone bad, according to a Delta spokesperson.

Emergency medical responders met the flight upon arrival, providing treatment to 12 passengers, the Fire Department of New York confirmed. The exact number of the plane's 277 passengers who consumed the spoiled food remains unclear.

Delta assured a thorough investigation into the incident and extended heartfelt apologies to affected passengers. 'This is not the service Delta is known for, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay in their travels,' a Delta spokesperson said.
