NOT ON THE MENU: Delta Air Lines is trying to figure out how needles got into turkey sandwiches on four flights from Amsterdam to the U.S. The airline said needles were found in six sandwiches on four flights on Sunday.

FOLLOWING THE THREAD: The sandwiches were made in the Amsterdam kitchen of catering company Gate Gourmet, and were to be served to business class passengers on Delta flights. Delta said security has been increased in its food preparation process, and it is using more prepackaged food.

PIE IN THE SKY: After the needles were found, passengers got pizza instead.
