Sweeteners, Creamers Won't Fly on Airline

Northwest Airlines has pulled artificial sweeteners and powdered coffee creamer from all flights.

The carrier did so to prevent delays and ease fears amid the anthrax threat, Northwest spokesman Kurt Ebenhoch said Friday in Eagan. Sugar and salt are still available, he said.

Although the airline would prefer they don't, passengers can bring their own sweeteners and creamers aboard, he said.
