Fizzy drinks, salt and pepper, and alcohol are some of the culinary items that don't make the safety cut for space travel.
NASA astronaut Anne McClain and David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency personal-size pizzas with safety-approved toppings and fixings.Have you heard the joke about the astronaut who got food poisoning? Probably not, and for good reason. It’s because such an event has honestly never happened.
Even so, many of these fan favorites may not end up making it to the station in time for an astronaut’s stay, and in some cases, at all. From production all the way to transport, it takes quite a long time for food to get approved and then loaded onto a rocket. Even then, once food makes it into orbit, it could take years before it’s consumed by a peckish astronaut who has a craving for their favorite snack.“We don’t have a cargo vehicle to go there every week to send what they want,” says Wu.
Crumbs are labeled Foreign Object Debris , or any object that could cause damage to a craft or system. NASA says that these wayward particles could interfere with mission equipment, be inhaled by crew members and in some cases, float into their eyes. A “space cheeseburger.” Astronauts routinely use tortillas instead of bread due to the latter’s tendency to crumble and float away in microgravity.There are other foods that can create big crumbly messes too, including ice cream. In microgravity, these dehydrated treats could become so brittle that they crack apart entirely, and send flavored flakes of these icy treats flying everywhere.
However, it’s difficult to pin down the exact health consequences of bubbly drinks because NASA hasn’t been able to safely conduct tests on astronauts to see how carbonation in microgravity could potentially harm the crew.
