Workers at an airline catering facility near Los Angeles International Airport have raised safety concerns. They say they saw maggots, mold, cockroaches and other pests at the facility.

The Inglewood facility belongs to Flying Food Group. The company prepares meals for airlines across the United States. Workers have raised several complaints about conditions at the site.

According to the complaint, a worker opened airline dish carts in June. The carts had remained closed for some time.

Inside, she reportedly found spoiled food. She said the food had mold, maggots and flies.

The worker says she asked to throw away the dishes. Instead, her supervisor told her to clean them for reuse on a flight. She also says the company did not give her a mask or respirator.

Workers also report seeing cockroaches and other pests. They say some were near food preparation areas and airline food carts.

The complaint raises other concerns. Workers say bathrooms and handwashing areas often lacked soap or paper towels. Some employees had to look elsewhere for supplies before returning to work.

UNITE HERE Local 11 filed the complaint for the workers. The union has sent photos, videos and worker statements to Cal/OSHA.

The union also wants state inspectors to investigate the facility. It says workers remain frustrated about the reported conditions.

The complaint also points to high temperatures in the dish room. Workers use the area to clean and sanitize dishes.

Flying Food Group told CNN that it knows about the allegations. The company said it is reviewing the claims and working with regulators.

Los Angeles World Airports said it could not comment on the case. The agency said Cal/OSHA is handling the matter.

In May 2026, Cal/OSHA issued six citations to Flying Food Group. The citations followed a January fire incident.

During that incident, two workers were reportedly found inside a cold storage room. A chain had locked the room from the outside.

The office of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass previously said officials take the allegations seriously. The office said it would work with the union and airport authorities to address the concerns.
