A man staying in MIQ in Christchurch says the Kosher meals he is being sent frozen from Auckland are not “fit for human consumption”.

Ilan Paz told the Herald he has lived in New Zealand for the last 42 years but spent the last two and a half months in Israel with relatives.

He arrived at the Sudima Christchurch Airport MIQ facility on Monday after informing authorities of his dietary requirement before initially leaving the country.

On arrival at the hotel, Paz said he was handed a bag with a sandwich in it by a staff member at the front desk.
