The controversy around Pink Sauce explored

The pink sauce created quite a stir online as soon as the video went viral. Due to its eye-catching color, netizens were intrigued to try this hot pink condiment. However, many on the internet questioned whether the sauce is made of ingredients that are approved by the FDI.

While many said that the weight and the proportions are inaccurate on the bottle's label, others claimed that they received spoilt bottles of the sauce.

According to Chef Pii, the sauce is made from sunflower seed oil, raw honey, milk, distilled vinegar, garlic, water, pink Himalayan salad and dried spices. The sauce also has lemon juice, citric acid, and Pitaya, which is another name for dragon fruit. The sauce’s pink color comes from the fruit.

Replying to the backlash, Pii said in an interview:

“I can only choose how I respond to it due to the fact that I did create something freakin’ amazing. I’m going to stand by that. I love my product. People love my product. I made a few mistakes. We’re coming back from it, and we’re going to grow from there.”

Dave's Gourmet would basically be taking care of all the errors that were initially seen on the label. These included misspelled ingredients and inaccurate and insufficient information about nutrients.

As of now, the company is yet to release more information about the viral sauce.
