Gran Hermano Contestants Fall Ill as Video Shows Burgers Thrown Out

A viral clip of a housemate tossing boxed burgers has intensified questions about food safety in the reality show.

Overview

  • Several Gran Hermano housemates reported stomach illness after meatballs that Jessica “La Maciel” made from packaged patties, following a buy that reportedly brought in 800 boxes.
  • Sol accused her of unsafe prep, saying she used one knife on raw meat and vegetables and should have worn gloves.
  • Host Santiago del Moro urged against pinning all blame on the cook and said some who felt sick had simply eaten too much.
  • House cameras later showed Emanuel Di Gioia throwing away several boxed burgers, which drew heavy criticism online and a counterpoint that unrefrigerated meat should be discarded.
  • The week also saw Jenny Mavinga leave the show, saying the pressure grew after a prior knife dispute resurfaced in the house.
