My Kitchen Rules fans have slammed Seven’s ratings hit after viewers spotted a lapse in hygiene standards in Tuesday’s episode.
The cooking show came under fire on social media after contestants Anne and Maree were seen preparing a meal with their hair down.
Fans were also worried that the mother and daughter duo were seen handling food without gloves.
‘Both ladies should tie their hair up, too risky,’ a user on a MKR Facebook thread said.
‘Basic hygiene when you’re cooking for guests, and besides, they’ll lose points if a hair is found in the food,’ another viewer added.
‘A third fan added, ‘Can’t understand why their hair is not tied up!’

The women were also questioned over the way they prepared their ‘Greek Classic’ –Chicken and Lamb Souvlakia with Pita and Tzatziki.
‘When plating up, they should be wearing gloves,’ observed a fan on the Facebook thread, while another added, ‘No tongs to serve the salad with?’
Anne and Maree were not the only MKR contestants to face criticism over hygiene with Justin and Will also receiving criticism over their efforts on Monday.
‘The boys also wore rings when kneading their dough and cooking,’ a fan said on the same thread.
Daily Mail has reached out to Channel Seven for comment.
Maddie Deveraux, who appeared as a contestant on MKR last year, recently discussed hygiene standards on the show with Yahoo Lifestyle.
‘People often forget MKR is as much about the food as it is the fashion, the drama, and the personalities,’ she told the publication on Wednesday.
‘When you’re cooking in your own home, it’s completely up to you as a contestant whether you wear your hair up or down — it’s all about what you feel comfortable with and also what the producers approve.

‘That changes once you get into Kitchen HQ, though. From that point on, hair must always be tied up for hygiene reasons.’
It comes after My Kitchen Rules star Colin Fassnidge was paid a remarkably low salary when he joined the show.
The Irish–born chef, 51, has revealed he was paid just $40,000 for his time on My Kitchen Rules in 2013, when he joined the show’s fourth season.
In 2013, the minimum wage salary for full–time workers based on 38 hours was $622.20 a week, which works out to $32,354 a year, slightly less than what Colin earned.
In September, an unnamed contestant from the 2024 season revealed to Daily Mail Australia that the going rate for burgeoning TV chefs was $1100 per week – barely above minimum wage.
The Australian minimum wage is currently $24.10 per hour, or $915.90 per week based on 38 hours.
The contestant said appearing on the reality show meant taking a pay cut for many, claiming that one castmate ended up in the red after filming.
