TikTok Creator Makes Gnocchi on Flight, Prompting Hygiene Backlash

No airline response has surfaced as the clip tops five million views.

Overview

  • Video from @buonapastaclub shows flour mixed with water, dough kneaded, and gnocchi shaped on a passenger tray table at cruising altitude.
  • Viewers labeled the stunt unhygienic or bizarre, citing dirty cabin surfaces and etiquette concerns for nearby passengers.
  • Media reports quote cabin‑crew anecdotes about bodily fluids and germs on tray tables and other areas, reinforcing warnings about in‑flight food preparation.
  • Commenters noted the gnocchi appeared uncooked, raising practical questions about what the passenger planned to do with the raw pasta.
  • The creator is identified as Katie or Kati Brooks by outlets, with Dexerto alone reporting she is preparing a cookbook, a claim not confirmed elsewhere, and neither the airline nor the creator has publicly addressed the criticism.
