<\/p>\n

Air Canada and Virgin America have topped other North American airlines in a health ranking of on-board food.<\/p>\n

According to DietDetective, which runs an annual survey examining the nutritional values of the food served to economy class passengers flying domestic, five-star-rated Air Canada \u201ccares about its passengers\u2019 health, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virgin America was described as the best-improved airline, also being awarded five stars, with DietDetective\u2019s Dr Charles Stuart Platkin saying that the calories and nutrient density of its on-board snacks had improved since last year.<\/p>\n

United Airlines was in third place, slipping in score because of its merger with Continental, which has left it with \u201conly a few decent healthy choices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rounding off the list were US Airways, JetBlue Airways, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Spirit Airlines.<\/p>\n

For some airlines, the blog suggested that it may just be easier to bring personal food, recommending easy-to-transport foods such as fruits, energy bars, sandwiches or nuts that can be taken through security checkpoints.<\/p>\n
