If you haven't already heard, TikTok feeds are blowing up right now over the infamous "pink sauce." It's a homemade pink-colored condiment by @chef.pii, a TikToker and private chef. For weeks, influencers and fans waited for their bottles to be shipped all over the United States to try the mysterious new sauce.
Needless to say, reactions were a mixed bag, mostly erring on the side of caution based on several red flags surrounding the product — including unregulated ingredients, poor packaging, and presentation.
All the praise and power to small business owners, and no disrespect to this chef's hustle — but you must do your due diligence to prevent running into legal concerns when producing a nationally-shipped food product. Failure to do so, and the internet and the FDA will 100% come for you.
Here are some the public's reactions that sum up the consensus on the infamous "pink sauce" of social media.
