Delta Air Lines Introduces Healthy Luvo Wraps On Board

Delta Airlines continues to encourage onboard healthful eating with a new selection of tasty, nutritional and freshly made Luvo wraps from today. Delta joins United Airlines to introduce new offering on its inflight menu on 1 February 2016. United Airlines also brings back free snacks on board its flights.

Luvo Wraps choices

• Luvo Southwest Grilled Chicken Wrap (470 calories) – Grilled chicken wrapped with a multi-grain salad (whole grain barley, millet, and bulgur with black beans, corn and roasted tomatoes) in a cilantro Greek yogurt dressing with arugula, romaine and green garbanzo hummus in a tomato whole grain tortilla.
• Luvo Sesame Grilled Chicken Wrap (480 calories) – Grilled chicken wrapped with a multi-grain salad (whole grain brown rice and barley with edamame and shiitake mushrooms) in a toasted sesame-ginger dressing with arugula, romaine and green garbanzo hummus in a tomato whole grain tortilla.
• Luvo Mediterranean Whole Grain Veggie Wrap (470 calories) – Vegetable and multi-grain salad (whole grain bulgur with green garbanzo beans, zucchini, slow roasted tomatoes and kale) in a balsamic vinaigrette with arugula, romaine and green garbanzo hummus in a spinach whole grain tortilla.

These wraps have limited sodium and added sugar with no artificial colours, sweeteners or flavours. Each wrap contains less than 500 calories and is packed with nutritional value and contains satisfying servings of protein.

They are available for purchase for all Delta Comfort and main cabin customers flying greater than 1,400 miles within the US, the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. They will be offered for free in Delta Comfort on board nonstop flights between JFK and LAX and JFK and SFO.

Luvo has taken a no-compromise approach to in-flight meal and snack options since 2013, with the philosophy that flying customers should be able to access the same nutrient-rich, tasty foods in the air as they do on the ground.

In December last year, Delta’s domestic meal options were lauded by The Diet Detective in its annual Annual Food Investigation with Health Ratings as the airline took the top spot among large network airlines and tied for second among all US based airlines with a score of four out of five stars, highlighting the Delta partnership with Luvo.

In Dec. 2015, the airline announced that customers flying in the Delta One cabin on all trans-oceanic flights across Delta’s global network will enjoy seasonally rotating, regionally-influenced menus featuring ingredients sourced at the height of flavour, often from artisan, small-batch producers.

In addition, Travel Pulse recently named Delta the U.S. airline with the best beer selection, scored by beer-rating site, Beer Advocate. Ranked among nine other airline beer menus, Delta’s scored 73.6 out of 100.

The airline also partners with chefs including Linton Hopkins, Michelle Bernstein and Michael Chiarello as well as Danny Meyer, New York City restaurateur and CEO of the Union Square Hospitality Group, to enhance the on-board, culinary experience.

Delta will continue to announce new offerings on board and make enhancements to its EATS menu this year.
