A group of workers at the famous aquarium in Valencia were invited by the program in January to a warm and hearty dinner. The occasion was L’Oceanogràfic’s 20th anniversary. The contestants of the cooking show were divided into two groups and had to serve different dishes to their guests, including seafood.

However, things turned out differently than planned: at least 44 people developed food poisoning during dinner. The event was denounced by a staff member, who complained on social media Sunday evening after the episode in question and even said she was hospitalized. There she was injected with Primperan – an agent to stop vomiting.

After the employee was exposed, many people reported complaints. The aquarium decided to contact the production of the cooking show, after which the Ministry of Health launched an investigation.
