Meghan Markle and Chrissy Teigen hand-mixed raw dough for cheesy crackers on a filmed cooking segment without any visible hand-washing beforehand. Chrissy Teigen used long, red-polished fingernails to slice and dig through the raw dough, while Meghan also used her painted fingers earlier in the process. Long nails can harbor dirt and bacteria, and visible scrubbing was not shown at about 11 minutes and 30 seconds into the episode. California Health and Safety Code 113973 would bar similarly groomed hands from food contact in a restaurant and requires single-use non-latex gloves for certain tasks.
Your stomach might churn, or you might think eww! when you watch Meghan Markle and her special guest Chrissy Teigen make dough for cheesy crackers in the second episode of the new season of With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix lifestyle and cooking show. That's because Teigen gets her fingers into a glass bowl to hand-mix together flour, butter, cheddar cheese and Meghan's homemade sourdough starter, and you can see the model's long, dagger-like fingernails, polished a bright red, slice and dig their way through the raw dough.
But no hand-washing or scrubbing is seen prior to the influencer's fingernails coming into contact with the raw dough, at around 11 minutes and 30 seconds into the episode. Meghan also gets her fingers into raw dough earlier in the episode, which also could be a bit of an eww moment. While Meghan's fingernails are shorter than Teigen's red daggers, they appear to be painted with a pale, clear polish.
The thing is, if these two self-styled cooking mavens worked in a restaurant, they'd likely be barred from getting their fingers anywhere near food, or food-contact surfaces, if they were wearing nail polish or had fingernails that are not clean, smooth, or neatly trimmed. That's according to California's Health and Safety Code 113973, which would presumably apply in Santa Barbara County, where Meghan's show is filmed in a kitchen that's not really hers.
