One person quipped: “Hello salmonella, my old friend.”

Another chimed in: “I believe Chef Gordon Ramsay would call that cross-contamination.”

The criticism didn’t stop there. “Dear sweet Lord that is DISGUSTING! No one does this,” one user exclaimed, while another added: “Not even on a plate! Well, it’s not her kitchen, just a rental for the show… but still, a terrible and unhygienic move for TV.”

Fans Outraged Over Food Safety

For some, this wasn’t just a funny oversight—it was an outright health hazard.

“Why are they not in a tray? Yuk, all the chicken juices would be running all over that fridge shelf & down the back onto products below. Not great hygiene practices,” one person pointed out.

Another criticized the show’s production team: “Who is on her production team? There are people paid to notice details like this. What a faux pas. I’ve been watching cooking shows for decades, and the only time I see raw chicken in the fridge is when it’s still in the package, marinating, and covered in a bowl.”

Someone else didn’t hold back: “Are those raw chicken legs just placed on the glass shelving of the fridge? No plate? No cover? And raw meat should never be placed above vegetables! What a literal shtshow.”

Viewers Were Mistaken—Here’s the Truth

However, not everyone was convinced that this was a food safety fail. Some defended Meghan, arguing that any mistake would fall on the production crew, while others suggested the chicken might not be raw at all.

One person insisted: “Everyone’s salad compartment is at the bottom of the fridge. And they are pre-cooked chicken legs.”

Their claim was later confirmed by The Daily Mail, which reported: “It was revealed the chicken legs had been parboiled or partially cooked in water and were placed on a tray.”

So, was this a shocking hygiene blunder or just a misunderstanding? Either way, With Love, Meghan is certainly keeping viewers talking.
