Speaking to the BBC, Ramsay said Smith's failure to use fresh food was "an insult".
"I would expect students struggling on £15 a week to survive eating from a can but the nation's favourite, all-time icon reducing us down to using frozen, canned food. It's an insult," he remarked.
Ramsay also criticised restaurants for not sourcing food locally and having out-of-season fruit and vegetables on their menus.
He said: "I don't want to see asparagus on in the middle of December. I don't want to see strawberries from Kenya in the middle of March."
The chef added that new laws should be imposed "to make sure produce is only used in season and season only".
