Pink sauce, TikTok’s latest food craze, has raised more concerns than good reviews. For $20, people can purchase the condiment, which according to the website, blends sunflower seed oil, dragon fruit, chili, honey and garlic.
TikToker Anna Reports News shared a list of concerns about the sauce, including its packaging and spelling errors on the nutrition label.

She also noted that it lists milk as an ingredient, but there were no directions to refrigerate the bottle or an expiration date. She also said that the product was not FDA approved.

TikToker @chef.pii, who is credited with creating the viral sauce, addressed some of the concerns, alleging that they were a mistake. She said that while the pink sauce isn’t FDA approved, the formula is “in the labs” as they work toward getting the condiment in stores.
