What Is the Controversy Behind TikTok’s ‘Pink Sauce’?

'Pink Sauce' is the latest TikTok food craze. The ingredients include sunflower seed oil, honey, garlic, milk, spices and dragon fruit which gives the sauce its infamous pink color. Some people say it's sweet, tangy and a little spicy. However, the creator of 'Pink Sauce' is facing criticism over her product ranging from the packaging to the nutritional facts. Chef Pii, the creator of 'Pink Sauce,' says "Everything has rolled out extremely fast. Mistakes happen."

The woman who’s selling it doesn’t even know what FDA stands for. If you’re buying that at this point, it’s natural selection.

Girl. If you’re going to do this, do it RIGHT. STOP playing with people’s lives.
She doesn’t realize she could get in trouble if anyone is harmed eating this!

[SpiritSlayer]

The fact that she never double checked for any mistakes on this product shows how inexperienced she is on selling items

[PolarSends]

I love that in every single image of the sauce shown, it is literally a different color.

She had a million dollar idea but she had a one cent Brain when it came down to actually researching nutrition labels and getting FDA approval and ensure the safety of others.

[bitemyshinnymetalass]

I can think of 3 issues.
1) Not FDA approved
2) poor packaging/ labeling
3) shipping during the hottest heatwave around the country. It's gonna get stale if not shipped properly

[finnycarti]

Yeah… considering how this woman literally said it isn’t FDA approved by saying “I’m not selling a medical product…” is probably a good indicator that you shouldn’t waste your money on a 20 dollar bottle of sauce that comes spoiled and disgusting. 💀

[HalfNHalf.]

My theory is that she wanted to push the pink sauce out fast before the “hype” around it died down and people wouldn’t want it anymore. So she skipped all of the important things you need to do before selling a food product. If she did it the right way, this could’ve been really cool but now the whole idea is tainted.
If you want to try pink sauce, make it at home.

I think getting this from some generic influencer is bad enough, but the way it's being shipped and the fact that it's not even FDA approved just throws it off the edge. Also, what's so appealing about eating something with sauce as pink as the Blob itself?

[sysdemes]

This just screams problematic, milk is used as an ingredient and is shipped distances not being refrigerated

[Tyexx]

Her response to not being FDA approved was “I’m not selling medical products” I’m 😭😭

[ambarodriguez]

She literally said "mistakes happen" when she's toying with people's health. Honey, someone is gonna die and you're gonna have a big lawsuit if you keep selling this💀

[arielsalas]

The fact that she said “I’m not selling medical products” when someone asked about the FDA 💀 that’s how you know NOT TO BUY FROM HER! 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Hell noooo!!!!

[sbello]

If you're stupid enough to buy a bottle of pink unknown sauce for $20 then this is on you.

[ZenWithZuriOfficial]

This goes to show don’t buy just anything. Not everything is made to be safe, not everything is catered for everyone, and not everything is acceptable just because it’s being popularised for thousands to take part in.

Having all the information before acting on, is so so vital in this day and age of society.

[KenMasters.]

She's like a little kid running a juice stand,

but is careless about what's in the drinks.

[coxochary]

this has been the most merciful coverage of the pink sauce, completely skimmed by the fact that it wasnt FDA approved when she was already distributing the sauce that had MILK and NO PRESERVATIVES

[dandydaikon]

Why does she play it off as a silly mistake when she's literally putting people's lives at risk? The fact that she says the food safety instructions were "wrote out extremely fast" is concerning. Not an excuse, it just shows that she's not educated enough on the topic to be selling food or she doesn't care about her customers.

[MoonWielder]

This woman sounds like she doesn't even know about serving food to people. As soon as someone sues her, she is absolutely screwed since it's not even FDA-approved. Even since she's a TikTok influencer that made a product, that just screams drama to me.

[slideshowgurl]

I used to babysit for a kid who demanded pink sauce with his chicken… it was literally just his mom mixing ketchup and Mayo together 🤣
