Pink Sauce chef hits back at health concerns: \u201cYou are judging a prototype\u201d YouTube: Carly Pii \/ Instagram: chefpiiThe chef behind TikTok\u2019s viral Pink Sauce is speaking out amid health concerns regarding her internet-famous product. Pink Sauce is the latest food-related item to take over TikTok. The platform has spawned a slew of viral vittles in the past, including its famous air-fried \u201cpasta chips,\u201d not to mention a slew of \u2018secret\u2019 Starbucks drinks. Now, the net has turned its attention to Pink Sauce, a bright pink condiment created by TikTok user and professional chef \u2018Chef Pii.\u2019 The colorful creation went super-viral in the span of a single month, prompting Chef Pii to start selling her product in bottles across the United States\u2026 but it wasn\u2019t long before her small business sparked concerns. Notably, netizens noticed a typo in the bottles\u2019 nutrition label, which claimed that each bottle contained 444 servings of 14.4 grams \u2014 which would amount to nearly 15 pounds of sauce. On top of that, viewers pointed out that one of the ingredients listed in the sauce was dried milk, a perishable item that TikToker Justin English worried wasn\u2019t properly stored or shipped. Still others found that the color of the sauce seemed to vary wildly from bottle to bottle, with some bright pink and others more muted. (Chef Pii uses dragon fruit in her sauce, which appears to give the condiment its pink coloring.) Click here if TikTok fails to load. Chef Pii responded to the concerns in a TikTok on July 20, clarifying that the \u201cgrams had gotten mixed up with the serving size\u201d regarding the sauce\u2019s nutrition label. \u201cThis is a small business that is just moving really really fast,\u201d she said.

On July 21, Chef Pii went live on YouTube and TikTok to respond to further backlash after netizens worried that Pink Sauce contained perishable ingredients, like mayonnaise, that weren\u2019t being properly stored or preserved, citing concerns of possible foodborne illness. \u201cYou are judging a prototype,\u201d Chef Pii claimed in her live stream. \u201cA prototype is when a product is not an official product. Pink sauce has only been an official product since the first of July.\u201d \u201cI would like to acknowledge that the Pink Sauce is made in a commercial facility,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe Pink sauce is made in an FDA approved commercial facility here in Miami, Florida.\u201d \u201cWe are dedicated to the quality of the Pink Sauce and we care about y\u2019all\u2019s health concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
