TEXT 1: THE PINK SAUCE DISASTER

1 If you logged onto TikTok or Twitter recently, you might have seen people talking about something called Pink Sauce. No, it's

2 not pasta made with cream and tomatoes, but a condiment made by a TikTok user named Chef Pii. Pii advertises Pink Sauce by

3 dumping it on tacos, wings, egg rolls, salads and more. The bottle has an adorable design, and she's shipping it everywhere. The

4 problem? Almost everything.

5 Consumers are reporting all kinds of issues, ranging from misleading nutritional information to a spoiled smell. The chef posted

6 videos of her preparing the sauce without gloves on. Once the negative reviews started pouring in, people realized that nobody

7 knew what the actual ingredients were. In fact, Pink Sauce is unregulated and could likely make you sick. In a statement, Pii said

8 "I guess when you're great, you can't make a mistake. My team's working quickly to fix the issues."

9 Pink Sauce is not the only food product created by a TikTok user which has gone viral for the wrong reasons. Earlier this year,

10 someone called Deva Tillis posted a video complaining about a "spicy bowl" containing crawfish and eggs that she ordered from a

11 small business on the platform. The bowl took nine days to reach her, and the fish was rotten by the time it arrived. The product

12 was falsely advertised as being shipped with dry ice to preserve the seafood.

13 Small businesses selling unregulated food online isn't new, according to an expert. "It's not a TikTok phenomenon, but what's

14 different is that TikTok is really good at small consumption and making things go viral. However, just because it's on TikTok, that

15 doesn't mean that it's safe," she concluded.
