Last updated: July 17th, 2012 12:13 AM (PDT)

Delta Air Lines Inc. 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. Delta spokeswoman Kristin Baur said one passenger on a flight to Minneapolis was injured but declined medical attention. The sandwiches were prepared in the kitchen of a catering company in Amsterdam, and some were served to business class passengers on Delta flights. The needles were found on flights to Minneapolis, Atlanta and Seattle.
