Chef licks fingers whilst making dessert mixture on This Morning
The esteemed restauranteur, 67, who was recently honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, joined hosts Phillip Schofield, 55, and Holly Willoughby, 36, to whip up a Kaiserschmarrn, an Austrian dessert similar to pancakes or a soufflé.
As Wolfgang whisked together egg whites and sugar, he simultaneously set about macerating raisins in rum for the mixture.
Pouring a generous splash of rum over the dish of raising, the chef then prodded them around with his bare fingers as he narrated his process.
Wolfgang Puck left This Morning viewers appalled during a cooking segment today
The chef used his fingers to spoon cream into the mixture
Seeming to completely ignore any spoons lying around the This Morning kitchen, he added cream to the combination, using his hands to scrape it out of the bowl before licking it off his fingers, saying: "I love the English cream."
ITV viewers were appalled by the lack of hygiene in the segment, taking to social media to complain.
"Ew, the chef licking his fingers," one fan commented. "No more of him please."
This Morning viewers were not impressed with Wolfgang's hygiene
Many flooded to Twitter to slam Wolfgang
One fan noted Phillip Schofield's reaction
"Using your fingers as spoons and then licking them should automatically revoke your Hollywood star," added another, while a third blasted: "His dirty finger continually in his mouth - then the mix… Yuck."
One Twitter user noted Phillip's reaction to Wolfgang's approach to hygiene, saying: "Schofield's face when he used his finger to put the cream in the bowl… Thinking… Health and Safety brigade will be on the blower!"
However, the presenters appeared to enjoy the pudding when Wolfgang served it up, tucking in and commenting on how tasty the dessert had turned out.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
