Discussion unfolds around MasterChef 11 and a controversial moment that sparked attention on social media. A Twitter user claimed a guest exposure incident linked to the show while filming, with the scene captured during a Valencia shoot tied to Oceanogràfic. The sequence aired on Sunday, April 9, and quickly circulated among fans and commentators.
“I’m starting a thread about the restaurant experience on the show recorded at Oceanogràfic in Valencia. I work there, and the program invited those of us who competed on January 19 to be part of the recording. More than half of the seventy attendees appeared to be intoxicated,” Irene explained in a tweet.

Alongside a photo from the recording, a young participant described a troubling sequence. She noted she had to seek emergency care the following night after dinner and that several colleagues also required medical attention. She mentioned visiting the emergency department for treatment and receiving injections to manage persistent vomiting. She added that she lost weight rapidly, noting a five-kilo drop in three days.
She also recounted that multiple people were reportedly affected by food served to the MasterChef crew. To date, no public action had been announced, and there was no direct outreach to apologize. She claimed her company received notifications about the incident, but normal duties prevented her from returning to work for several days. Public Health reportedly investigated the matter, but no formal resolution had been shared, leaving some participants feeling overlooked and awaiting a response.
The episode drew attention to safety and hospitality concerns on televised cooking programs, highlighting the importance of clear health protocols on set and across partner venues. The participants stressed the need for accountability and transparent communication from producers and sponsors, especially when personal well-being and workplace safety could be affected during production. The discussion remains ongoing as viewers seek confirmation and updates about any actions taken in response to the reported symptoms and hospital visits.
