The breakfast was parev and bread sticks were PY however check the certificate in the packaging and I know they were working on some changes in the menu.

100% not
OU and UOS SA are the 2 certifying authorities

I'm about to fly Lisbon to Newark with United. Anyone know who supplies/certifies KSML out of LIS? I just had a chat with United support who rather unhelpfully told that it was provided by Glatt Kosher lol ???

(also I had the Fresko business class meal on flight from EWR-LIS and it wasn't too bad although a broccoli side salad was completely frozen. Meals were huge though, esp. breakfast)

So I hear back from United and they said: Hi, there. The meals out of Lisbon are supplied by Stogel Kosher Catering, a Belgian company. They are certified Glatt Kosher and produced under supervision of the Machzikei Hadass of Antwerp"
