Overview

• In the program’s Noche de Cine segment, video showed Mar Contreras picking up fallen pasta and placing it on a plate that was later served to Priscila Valverde.
• Priscila reacted with visible displeasure and said the incident gave her an added reason as she considers upcoming nominations.
• Contreras said she did not realize the pasta reached Priscila’s plate, stressed she meant no harm, and noted she had swept and mopped before cooking.
• Odalys Ramírez referenced the household “five‑second rule” in defending Contreras, and Dalílah Polanco offered support, while the moment trended online with divided reactions and no production sanction reported.
• Media reports contextualized the dispute with Clemson (2007) and Rutgers (2016) studies showing rapid bacterial transfer and WHO guidance on risks from pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria, particularly in shared indoor spaces.
