Same, atleast he's doing the bare minimum and telling us whats in it, Matpats merch and shipping is always the highest quality so it wouldn't be shipped so poorly
I'm honestly astounded that she's even allowed to sell this. I remember when we set up a small pop-up concessions booth at a school festival, we had to have a licensed food health and safety officer come inspect our ingredients, food storage, food processing methods, prep surfaces, etc. to get the equivalent of a day pass to sell food to the public. Food safety is serious.
Some condiments are actually omitted from having to be checked by the FDA, but those sauces can't contain ingredients that spoil, like egg and dairy products. This is me going off memory cuz I watched another video on this whole thing, and that's what they said (might've been DeFranco), but I don't care enough to double check, and he does a good job of looking this stuff up.
the lady asking "It is just a prototype why is the FDA trying to get involved?" has the same energy as the kitchen nightmares resteraunt owner who asked Ramsey "What are you a health inspector?"
she's probably related to one owner who accused Gordon of planting the mouse, not sure what the restaurant was but if've seen clips of the show you probably know the one im talking about
@@Bancanana Judging by the fact I've seen that exact comment several times across UA-cam and his picture is the Mrbeast logo, it feels like a scam/virus.
As a culinary kid, this lady's product upset me so much, especially learning that she didn't know about the FDA, any personal chef should have their ServSafe, and she would know about the freaking FDA just from getting that certification, let alone the other multitude of certificates she would need. It hurts my little culinary heart to see people try to sell this off as a healthy natural product
I just noticed Mat wrote "vinger" on his bottle of vinegar which confused me until i realized that's how it was spelt on the actual "nutrition facts" label. This sauce just gets better and better
I’m a food product developer and this product just…hurts my soul. If I did what she did I would lose my job. It takes months to finalise a product and for her to just send it out half assed is frustrating to see . Love seeing your detective product developer work!
@@DeathstroketheTerminator he said he doesn't really know why, the theorist team hypothesized that maybe the leg he usually wears a sock on is shorter than his other leg and he is making up for the extra height, but they measured his leg and they found that it was actually longer than the other one if anything, so it's still a mystery. just one of those weird things.
i do that sometimes if one of my socks gets wet. Like if I spill water on just one sock but don't want to get another pair of socks when only one sock got wet, I'll just take off the wet sock and leave the other on.
The fact that Chef Pii made this stuff and DIDN'T do any research on making a food product like this is insane! How is she not getting bombarded with lawsuits!? I feel like a judge would gladly tell her she can't keep the ingredients of the sauce secret and that she needs to take a kindergarten level course on what the FDA is
I don't think you understand some of the laws on food that certain things are actually allowed to be hidden on a food label just when you label it natural flavors there have been a lot of things that have been into play where they're even not wanting to put certain ingredients on a label and judges are going for it sadly so you're incorrect
@@Angelface11 Part of the problem here is it has made a decent amount of people sick, and is certainly sketchy with not wanting the original product tested. There is also the issue of the milk ingredient going bad, especially with such little insulation. Seriously was there even a mention on the label for any sort of refrigeration for that? Basically the only thing that saved it was someone else coming in and paying for it to be made as a safer product.
You are the one who does not understand. Something like mayo, which contains egg, is an extremely common allergen, and that HAS to be spelled out in the ingredients. What you are referring to are obscure chemicals that are not known to cause allergies to a great number of people. Food dye are another common thing to cause allergies and it, in most countries has to be specificied atleast by a number or code so it can be recognized by the consumer. @Angelface11
It also said on the bottle “1 Table spoon per serving”, if there are 444 servings, that’s a whopping _1.73 Gallons,_ or _6.6 Litres!_ That is *way* more than possible to fit in a bottle the size showed in the original video
the funniest thing to me is how on her website, she puts the logos of the companies (like USA Today and Forbes) under “As Seen In!” like the companies didn’t publish articles telling people why they SHOULDNT buy her sauce 😭
Oh now that's good 😂🤣😂🤣 That's way too good 😂🤣😂🤣 She actually had the gall to include references to the As Seen In when those 3rd parties are actually downing her product? You can't make this stuff up! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@brainlyexpertsmart1136 oof, I come off as a jerk to a lot of people so I have to say that sometimes to make sure they don't think that I was purposely being rude to them
Honestly, with a fraction of the ingredients (garlic, salt, lemon and oil), she could’ve made an emulsion that would result in a middle eastern garlic sauce (toum) and then just colour it pink with dragon fruit powder and it would’ve been palatable and fun. It would’ve been creamy (though maybe not super squeezable) and good though still has issues like being perishable.
To be honest, I have no idea how pii has the guts to call herself a chef when she just mixed mayo and chili powder and shipped it out without thinking that it would spoil over time.
and the liklyhood of her being able to seal the food in her own whatever (didn't she say in one video she dosen't do this out of her home kitchen?) is slim right?
@@vvajra A chef by definition is a professional cook in a restaurant. You can easily make good-looking food without being a chef. I doubt this lady is because of the pink sauce nutrition label being filled with errors and her not even knowing what the FDA is. Unless the whole thing is a joke, but she's still gonna get in legal trouble for selling a food product across state lines without FDA regulation.
From a home cook perspective a lot of this makes sense. Seasoning mayo tastes nice and is easy to do. Which makes up for it's short shelf life. The dragon fruit is novel but also tasteless. That makes the taste of the official product worrying. Makes you wonder if everything has just gone off.
@@weresofansie1457 dragon fruit is actually great in a lot of ways sadly the more popular it has become the worse quality is avalible. its kind of like how strawberries got bred too much for size and now often aren't as flavorful.
To anyone that doesn't know what dragon fruit tastes like, it's basically tasteless but kinda sweet. The only thing with flavour from the fruit is the skin.
In theory, the binder could be the garlic. Toum is a middle eastern garlic sauce that emulsifies oil with garlic to get a creamy texture. But that doesn't sound anything like this pink sauce. But Toum, dragonfruit, and honey might be a great combo.
Dragonfruit is actually an emulsifier. MatPat simply didn't do it correctly, since he has no experience in food science outside of this channel. I highly recommend the Pink Sauce video by How to Cook That
Fun fact: On the label it says one serving of sauce is 14.4 grams. Since it also says there are 444 servings per bottle, then appearently bottle should have roughly 6.4 KILOS of sauce.
Front of my brain: "Ah yes this pink sauce is interesting and she highkey should be taken to court" Back of my brain: "Why was Mat only wearing one sock?!"
Im surprised the "milk" labeled on the bottle wasn't more talked about. It does say that it includes less than 2% of the stuff, but that was part of the discussion around the sauce since people were calling it out and chef p later made a statement clarifying that she was using powdered milk and thus was shelf stable.
... I don't.. How even... Food Science doesn't work that way!!! They who point of dehydrated foods is there is no moisture/liquid for mold or bacteria to use. If you add dehydrated anything to something that is a liquad, there is now liquad for mold or bacteria to use as a medium while they eat the formalry dehydrated substrance. "Chef P" makes herself sound more and more moronic the more she opens her mouth!
@@Purplesquigglystripe exactly. Also many foods are shelf stable when closed but once you open them, then need refrigerated afterwards. Like canned pineapple are fine sitting on the shelf unopened but you open that can and leave it on the counter it'll bad very quickly. And that's not a "maybe", rehydrated powdered milk is very much no longer shelf stable. It will spoil like any other milk. This lady just has zero clue as to what she is doing. If she knows so little she should've either taken some night classes or found a food scientist or lab to pay to help her learn how to make it shelf stable. Those foods tend to have preservatives and stabilizers for a reason. And they have to be in the right proportions. Like you can't add a pinch of salt and call it preserved. Like to preserve meat in it, you have to bury and cover the meat in it entirely. Like you need a whole jar of it for just a single steak. (This is also way people used to soak and resoak their food in water before cooking. It was to remove most of the salt because it would otherwise contain so much salt that it wouldn't be edible.)
@@Insertia_Nameia "Those foods tend to have preservatives and stabilizers for a reason." WHAAAAAAAAT?? Everyone knows the big food companies put preservatives into food is because of... Uhhhh... Profits! You can completely leave it out and it's fine! Food doesn't need to be preserved!
I think she might misunderstand what "personal chef" means. Maybe she cooks for herself at home and thinks that's all it takes, instead of actually being a professional hired by someone to cook for them. Either a mistake explaining her knowledge, if you want to give her the benefit of the doubt, or intentional exaggeration to sell her brand with the defense later of it being a mistake because she cooks for herself.
I think she means that she’s a home cook but had to jazz it up because it’s the internet. Like how UA-camrs would put Professional Film Maker on their resume
she's not a chef, she didn't go to culinary school, otherwise she'd know what fda means and why her product is against the law. other people talking about the situation have mentioned she has a catering service. my guess is she's the cook in the catering service but calls herself a chef to sound fancier and more professional
Her other social media does show pretty elaborate dishes and horderves she's seemingly made for upscale parties, so she may very well be a personal chef. You don't necessarily need to know what FDA stands for to pass a basic food handlers permit test and start working in a kitchen and a personal chef wouldn't even need to have a food handlers permit. She could very well just be the personal chef for some wealthy person somewhere in Florida.
it makes sense why the Dragon Fruit would find no place in the taste category, cause Dragonfruit doesn't even have a signature flavor on its own. It tastes like a very watery, bland kiwi minus the kiwi's acidity. It's the fruit's crunchiness from the seeds that makes it so delicious and fun to eat (literally grab a spoon and go to town).
1 out of three times I find a ripe one. The red fleshed taste better to me and has kind of a unique sweet taste. That said, probably not worth $5 each. Apples and oranges are way tastier imo.
Prickly pears grow wild around here, so I just used those and a splash of cranberry in my copycat recipe since dragonfruit and prickly pears have similar flavors to me. It came out..not pink, but it was pretty tasty. Also had some weirdly good luck with kiwis mixed with cherry juice.
Hi Matpat, Dragonfruit contains a natural emulsifier in it called pectin, and the spices listed likely include another natural emulsifier mustard. It doesn't look like you did a proper emulsion in your attempt at making the sauce which likely is why it resulted so watery
@@al-imranadore1182 yes but it did have "dried spices" mustard isnt just the name of the yellow condiment, it is also a type of 'spice'/seed that is used to make said condiment.
I’m sure it’s been said before, but she could’ve made a dry powder that was intended to be mixed with some ranch and Mayo (so it’s now more shelf stable), had legit labeling, then sold that-since it apparently tastes good-it probably could’ve been a good product too. Just seems the lack of foresight and preparation just made this fiasco worse than it could’ve been.
It already exists - it's called *Pitaya Powder,* and MatPat showed a packet of it near/at the End of the Video (16:24 to be exact). Even then, its only use in the recipe is as a _Food Colouring!_ All the flavour comes from _the Ranch and some Chili Flakes,_ subtly sweetened by _some Honey and Mayonnaise._ So not only does Chef Pii not have a feasiby genuine Product _in the first place,_ but she doesn't even own the rights to sell the _one Ingredient needed_ to make it *its eponymous Pink Colour!*
@@lianaverwood9810 I think you misunderstood the comment.... They said the she could've powderized The sauce she made and people can make it at home .... The pitaya powder is basically just coloring
She never intended to make a good product! All she did was do some dumb experiments in her home and once it got popular she immediately jumped on the opportunity to gain a whole crapload of TikTok clout. She never gave a crap about safety and she didn't even know what the FDA was, if you can't see that as a MAJOR red flag then your a lost cause!
fun fact: I work in a restaurant where we use dragon fruit for one of our drinks. I learned that the dragon fruit only adds color and not any flavor, so that might be why the ranch just tasted like ranch. :)
All I could think of during this video: How has this woman not been arrested yet? She's basically selling the "potion" we all made as 5-year olds when we were home alone with condiments and shampoo left unguarded.
I was thinking the same thing. Between the lack of refrigeration, the complete failure of the "nutritional label," probably skirting shipping laws, and the outright fact that some of it has been dangerous; there has to be federal criminal violations here. And given that she seems to have only ramped up when faced with this, she clearly deserves the charges.
@@AnAirConditioner Some US states have pretty lenient cottage industry laws that let you cook in your own personal kitchen as long as you meet basic requirements. It's how it's legal for people to have bake sales or set up a vending booth at different local fairs and markets. Actual permits aren't always needed.
I love the pics Oliver made being on the fridge. Unlike ‘family’ influencers. Iconic how a non family influencer is more loving than ‘family’ influencers.
She had a whole video where she had the “FDA” come to her door to show she’s working with the FDA. Though there’s a bunch of people calling her out for faking that whole encounter which is absolutely hilarious. There’s nothing funnier than seeing a scammer fall
I am severely allergic to a certain food colourant, even the smallest amount triggers anaphylaxis so this is my biggest nightmare. There’s a reason why there’s a label on all foods with the ingredients listed. Also egg allergies are becoming extremely common so if she’s using mayo and not declaring it, she can seriously hurt a lot of people who try it
I hate to say it, but that may be why it MAY contain eggs. Which sounds shitty bc if it for sure has egg, than someone who's ok with the possible risk of a little bit of egg being in there may find themselves rushed to the ER.
You do not need egg nor food colouring to make the sauce. You get a pink thick (but less flavourful) sauce by just mixing water, oil, and dragonfruit powder. No mayo needed. Source: How to cook that, "Debunking the Pink Sauce Controversy"
I’ve never understood why she refuses to tell us what it tastes like 😭 if you’re shipping out a new branded product of yours at least tell us what it tastes like..
it's just so that people buy it more out of curiousity, I would say. its much more interesting to buy something "indescribable" than if you can already compare it to someone else
If any of you are wondering what happened with pink sauce, well it looks like she sold it to some company that actually got it FDA approved and is now being sold for half the price
Wrong!!! she couldnt sell the recipe cause people already got the ingredients and some one else sold it before she had a chance to, that was her mistake.
FYI: Ranch is about 2/3 mayo to begin with. You could add 2 parts mayo to one part buttermilk and throw in a packet of Ranch seasoning. It's a lot cheaper than the bottles.
She’s a chef. Just like how many tv doctors are doctors… they aren’t. Also side note, in her videos she’s not wearing gloves OR a hairnet which is EXTREMELY unsanitary! Edit: I’m saying this because she is making a ready to eat product. In factories where they make ketchup, mustard, ranch, etc (i believe) they are meant to have hairnets (especially if they are someone with long hair) and are supposed to wear gloves and change them often. I was talking about someone who is making sauce that they are selling not a chef.
@@lialaokami I see very few chefs wearing gloves at restaurants. Some might wear hairnets, but very far from all. Gloves are worse when cooking anyway. It gives you an excuse not to wash your hands.
The 444 part was a printing mistake. She explained that in an update, but that shows just how sketchy this all is. She clearly prints out lables either herself or with a "team". Either way no one knows how the food industry works and just slaps anything on the label. So literally anything could be in it.
444 is and “angel number” that’s why she put it on their because she saw it as lucky and slapped it to her bottles with glitter glue. She tried to play it off by saying it was a printing mistake. But it’s obvious she does not need to be making food when she said and I quote “What do you mean fda approved, I don’t sell medical products” 😭😭😭
Yeah she did the 444 on purpose, she doesnt know what the fda is she cant even get a the nutrition label correct she should not be selling this. Clout chasing is a terminal disease
As a diabetic seeing the nutritional values on the back (and having to see the carbs even though I don’t use insulin anymore just as a precaution to remember just in case if I go back on it), this makes me want to scream at the wall and ask why they can’t do basic math
At the end it’s easy to see why they are married to each other they make each other laugh so much that it’s honestly adorable to see matpat losing it laughing at Steph’s “pour it on someone at the castle gates” comment
She made a huge mistake with this "sauce", but she has a reputation as a real good cook/chef in her area. Look into it further, she really messed up with shipping, expansion, the FDA, and all of that... but if one goes back before the mistake, she is in fact well known for her cooking.
@@GamerGrovyle The people saying that obviously just want to throw negativity toward either her or me. So, due to your lack of research.. I couldn't care less about your "doubt". It's all good though. We live in a world where literally every bit of information is in the palm of peoples hands, but when one goes out of their way to do any research... well... THEY are wrong. Not the ones who did not go looking for information. I know, I know. Pretty soon the worlds IQ will drop another point or two....
100% what she did. No wonder it turned out to be a pink petri dish of packaged food poisoning. She's lucky nobody died. The only label that should be on those bottles is☠.
Huh, and here I was thinking that Pink Sauce was just this new trend of "oooh look we added pink food coloring to our ranch/mayo/whatever sauce, aren't we fancy?" But man this rabbit hole of how this product is beyond unsafe and the sheer contempt it's "creator" has for the rightful scorn against her is insane! Doesn't know what FDA stands for..... the ingredients/"nutrition" list....SHEESH.
just because someone calls themself a chef, it doesn't mean they are. There are plenty of people who are chefs, but don't call themselves chef. why pink sauce went viral is a mystery to me.
here's a thing I just noticed, at 6:57 (pause it) she uses her MIDDLE finger to lick the sauce, which might mean the woman who's being forced to try it, hates it.
Not only does Chef Pi not know what the 'F' stands for in FDA, but she clearly doesn't know that mayo contains eggs. And her sauce label states: "May contain soy and eggs." Also in the UK, we have our own 'pink sauce' It's called cocktail sauce. It's basically tomato sauce and mayo mixed in equal quantities with a generous pinch of cayenne pepper. Or burger sauce which is the same as cocktail sauce, but has pickle relish in it too.
@Masterraccoon Yeah, sauce combos are pretty cool, take it from the person that mixed barbeque sauce with ketchup, I'd call it RED SAUCE! Totally creative and original!
@@vjpearce it’s very well known in America lol it’s called fry sauce here What we call cocktail sauce is ketchup with lemon juice and horseradish served with shrimp and certain kinds of fried seafood
@Recommended For You 🅥 Let's be honest no one cares, the world is ending and there's no escaping our fate, it's best to stop programming bots and instead to spend time with your family until the very end.
Ah but that shade is not only well deserved, but he would be irresponsible to not do so. Just think of it though he'll get so many views on this that any of the viewers that are Tik Tokers, will post vids showing them making their own home made pink sauce, she'll get buried with the competition, and most of them will just show how to make the sauce cause MatPat did it here first. That'll could become the new trend on TikTok, make your own homemade pink sauce.
This is my favourite episode of food theory ever, and watching this after knowing one of my favorite UA-cam's are quitting youtube, makes the experience of watching this just hide hard!! Luv ur content so much!!💖
he actually chose food as a topic for theories because... well... humans have been eating food since existing so there would be A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT to talk about
@@m_artroom not even suspicious just outright stupid they're the opposite of people who breathe the wrong way and get thrown into a pit of lava which is why we should TURN them into people who scratch their nose the wrong way and send them into a human shredder and then dump it into trash because let's be honest they're probably full of led
10:28 I now see that the recipe calls for distilled *VINGER* not vinegar. Apparently, vinger is a part of a finger. So we're supposed to put severed fingers into the sauce. I see
The only product I’ve seen with that high of a serving amount were giant jugs of ketchup ( I work in food service) that we use to make 150-200 2 oz containers of fry sauce.
Its actually a common misconception that the F in FDA stands for "food". It was actually placed there to pay respects to all the people who died from pink sauce.
Okay, the biggest issue with the sauce was shipping in the summer heat. To combat it what she could have done was simply use dry ice to keep it cold, but instead she shipped a perishable sauce in extreme heat
@@치추이still, if she’s shipping accounts for a place or she lives in a place where there’s heat waves she should take note. Especially since she’s selling a food product, and she didn’t do that? Also the label with it’s miss spelling and things that just don’t make sense shows that she was pretty careless when making it
i mean, when you buy egg mayo in shops its not refrigerated at all. just because something has potentially perishable fod in it doesnt mean it with spoil
@@L83467 I assume the people who buy her stuff though can live hours away, buying mayo and eggs shouldnt take that long to ship. Also, I'm curious, when you buy eggs and mayo you get it shipped to you?? Usually, I buy it from the store, and since the store has AC, the eggs and mayo can stay good outside of the refrigirators
I doesn't taste good because she ships the stuff without refrgeration via USPS. In the process it spoils (foods that need refrigeration spoil after a day or two. just enough time to get sick by something shipped through the mail.
@@BigPunDude Well those people tasting the sauce don't look like their actually enjoying it. From my point of view, it just looks like their being polite.
Im convinced this lady just woke up and was like "oh im gonna make pink sauce!" And didnt even go through any process to get this through and working 😭
Thanks Mat and Stephanie, you've literally saved SOOO many people from having to go to ER 🤢🤮😂 & saved them from wasting $20. Stephanie you've hilarious too especially the oil comment at the end. 🤣🤣
People need to share this video ... a lot. Maybe even put a video on ticktok linking to this video to get that crowd to check it out. People getting caught in this craze need to know this.
UPDATE: A more reputable company took over the production of the pink sauce and the safer version is being sold at Walmart stores now. Also, if you're going to make a food product for the masses, being secretive with the recipe is a sure way to get sued for not listing potential food allergens. IJS.
actually SHE could sue lots of people (including Matt) for making unsubstantiated claims and defamation. there was nobody who got sick from her product and there was no botulism. They ruined her name and brand based on false accusations. Her product is actually legit. the channel "How to cook that" debunked all the false claims. Yes, her label being wrong was a legit claim against her but the rest was bullshit. also, lots of companies are "secretive" with their recipes and in fact coca-cola protects their recipe as a trade secret. finally, she wasn't lying about the ingredients, the dragon fruit is the emulsifier. even matt mentions it in the video but doesn't realize that it IS the emulsifier, he was just doing wrong (an honest mistake).
I wouldn’t buy her product out of principle. What she did was irresponsible! Especially when she is a mother and should care. Plus I’ve seen the reviews of the Walmart version and they are mostly negative.
11:30 garlic is actually a binding agent. The large amount of garlic in the recipe would have been enough to creamify the sauce…. It also would have been disgusting.
There are tons of vegetarian sauces in India, a place where egg isn't considered vegetarian by the fssai (FDA of India). So do they use garlic? Or something else?
I'm with MatPat at the end, I lost it at Steph's "she's going to pour it on someone at the castle gates" 🤣 that's such an incredible visual and I love that her mind went to Medieval forms of Defense 😂
As a Marylander, an easy simple “pink sauce” is Ketchup and Mayonnaise… I usually only use it on when eating crabs but it could work with other foods🤷🏽♂️
Exactly! Came here to say this, I've used it for prawns primarily, tbf it's pretty good with other stuff too. Usually it's called Marie Rose Sauce over here.
That's called Fry Sauce where I am from. There are also a few variations depending on other ingrediats, if you used ranch instead of mayo, or added relish, or a half dozen other things.
The next step is to take all of those different variations, bottle them up and leave them out in the sun for an extended period of time and see which ones explode or change color most accurately to the ones we've seen
A year later and i thought of an amazing line that couldve been used Who wouldve thought the FOOD and DRUG administration would want a word about a geneva convention violation in food form
I have been the saucier at a few restaurants and when I first heard about pink sauce, I knew nothing good was going to come of it.. It is sad that she was even allowed to sell the product in the first place.. Where I live, restaurants aren't allowed to get product from home businesses.. Because of this exact reason.. People who make stuff at home don't understand food safety most of the time.
I mean seeing how she doesn’t know what the FDA is, she probably isn’t getting any kind of permission selling this. Like I feel she’s even bypassing any shipping rules for food products since this sauce is coming spoiled.
Because she manufactures at home she falls under the states cottage food laws. She is still not allowed to sell perishable goods though. To sell perishable goods not only does one have to have a permit, but a proper facility to manufacture. Honeslty she'd going to end up getting sued one of these days, or worse yet arrested for selling unsafe perishable items and then she is sooo screwed especially if someone gets sick or dies.
The only thing I could think about this whole time is a already existing Pink sauce recipe. It’s from a pizza place called Pizza Shoppe and they have their own dressing call “The Pink Stuff”. Seems like a similar texture and flavor. I would be curious if you think she just ripped this recipe off..
What I find most interesting about all of this is that pitaya hot sauce exists and could have been made with the ingredients she claimed to have been using (pitaya, honey, garlic, vinegar, onion powder, chili powder). Adding a small amount of stewed pepper like scotch bonnet or habanero would have resulted in a really good hot sauce. Just...if she didn't chase a gimmicky color, and knew what she was doing, she could have made a really good hot sauce. Also, if she was using preexisting brands for her product, should she be worried about lawsuits? It's one thing to use brand-name chocolate chips when you sell cookies (which is protected by cottage laws) but it's very different when you're seemingly just reselling a dyed brand-name product in its original packaging with a new label added over top.
she should be worried about lawsuits long before the brands show up. falsifying a nutrition label, not disclosing allergens nor ingredients, not properly shipping perishables, selling food with no fda approval, causing serious health complications in multiple people.
Ironically, everything else will probably protect her from that one. No brand will want to associate itself with the food poisoning enough to prove that it was the one used as an ingredient.
After hearing about the servings per container comment, I immediately went and grabbed my can of non-stick cooking spray, knowing they are able to say it has zero calories and zero everything else by claiming that the serving size is ridiculously small. As I suspected, 753 servings per container.
i think this is just homemade mayo(since you have eggs,oil) and in Philippines we have this pink salt used to preserve food (which turns the food pink)
Here in Argentina we have a pink sauce that's made out of beetroot! It's actually very good and safe to eat since it's just beet puree with lemon and seasonings 😋
Side note I freakin love how goofy these two are at the end of the episode If Genie were to grant me one wish, I wish for everyone to be as happy, healthy, and long lasting as MatSteph
They’re both dedicated to solving problems and know who they married. That’s all it takes. People shouldn’t be looking for a perfect human, cause one doesn’t exist.
I bet the sauce has been getting lighter in color because she’s putting less dragon fruit in. You could probably use beets to achieve the same color and it would be more cost effective…
Also the initial change in color was by far the most dramatic. I bet her first tiktok was just slammed together randomness and she realized oh wait now I need to remake it.
@@chrisriley2321 not really. beets and dragon fruit powder have really mild flavor. unless you put a lot, under the flavor profile of all the other ingredients makes it barely distinguishable. I've made both. slightly redder with beet but every friend and sibling that I asked to try couldn't taste the difference
I actually came across a bottle of this on the shelf at Walmart yesterday, it looked even more different than when MatPat made this episode! Looking at the label myself it was as crazy as he said and of course I bought it to make sure I documented the discovery. It now sits on my windowsill and I laugh at it as I walk by.
I know I’m late to this comment lol but to be fair. The pink sauce on Walmart shelves is a safe version made by an actual reliable sauce company. So no fear in trying it.
honestly your pink sauce looks good.... can i buy a bottle?

@@DeathstroketheTerminator he said he doesn't really know why, the theorist team hypothesized that maybe the leg he usually wears a sock on is shorter than his other leg and he is making up for the extra height, but they measured his leg and they found that it was actually longer than the other one if anything, so it's still a mystery. just one of those weird things.
My son likes to do the same it's odd but he has been doing it since he figured how to take his socks off 😂
i do that sometimes if one of my socks gets wet. Like if I spill water on just one sock but don't want to get another pair of socks when only one sock got wet, I'll just take off the wet sock and leave the other on.

The fact that Chef Pii made this stuff and DIDN'T do any research on making a food product like this is insane! How is she not getting bombarded with lawsuits!? I feel like a judge would gladly tell her she can't keep the ingredients of the sauce secret and that she needs to take a kindergarten level course on what the FDA is
I don't think you understand some of the laws on food that certain things are actually allowed to be hidden on a food label just when you label it natural flavors there have been a lot of things that have been into play where they're even not wanting to put certain ingredients on a label and judges are going for it sadly so you're incorrect
@@Angelface11 Part of the problem here is it has made a decent amount of people sick, and is certainly sketchy with not wanting the original product tested. There is also the issue of the milk ingredient going bad, especially with such little insulation. Seriously was there even a mention on the label for any sort of refrigeration for that? Basically the only thing that saved it was someone else coming in and paying for it to be made as a safer product.
She’s been slammed with so many lawsuits that she can’t make pink sauce purchasable.
FDA doesn’t really go after people, they just send warnings and say they will go after you
You are the one who does not understand. Something like mayo, which contains egg, is an extremely common allergen, and that HAS to be spelled out in the ingredients. What you are referring to are obscure chemicals that are not known to cause allergies to a great number of people. Food dye are another common thing to cause allergies and it, in most countries has to be specificied atleast by a number or code so it can be recognized by the consumer. @Angelface11

I love how Stephanie is the only one making all the sauce while matpat is there for memes and the science talk lol
Honestly, with a fraction of the ingredients (garlic, salt, lemon and oil), she could’ve made an emulsion that would result in a middle eastern garlic sauce (toum) and then just colour it pink with dragon fruit powder and it would’ve been palatable and fun. It would’ve been creamy (though maybe not super squeezable) and good though still has issues like being perishable.
sounds fun to make. I'll have a go at it!
Yeah those are also basically the ingredients of aioli, which is creamy as well.
@@Chicagocanine without the eggs it's the ingredients for ranch or mayo.
That is a sweet dragon fruit garlic aioli.
Or use beets lol
@@jermainekngdom3154 Mayo uses eggs, just like aioli. They are essentially the same thing.
To be honest, I have no idea how pii has the guts to call herself a chef when she just mixed mayo and chili powder and shipped it out without thinking that it would spoil over time.
and the liklyhood of her being able to seal the food in her own whatever (didn't she say in one video she dosen't do this out of her home kitchen?) is slim right?
She doesn't even know what FDA means
She puts more than chili sauce and mayo but you're right about the spoiling
@@vvajra Did she go to culinary school?
@@vvajra A chef by definition is a professional cook in a restaurant. You can easily make good-looking food without being a chef. I doubt this lady is because of the pink sauce nutrition label being filled with errors and her not even knowing what the FDA is. Unless the whole thing is a joke, but she's still gonna get in legal trouble for selling a food product across state lines without FDA regulation.
From a home cook perspective a lot of this makes sense. Seasoning mayo tastes nice and is easy to do. Which makes up for it's short shelf life. The dragon fruit is novel but also tasteless. That makes the taste of the official product worrying. Makes you wonder if everything has just gone off.
If its been sent through the mail on a hot day, id say its pretty likely its started to turn
Noice
I tried dragon fruit recently and was actually shocked that it was flavorless. I don't know what I expected, but I expected some flavor.
@@weresofansie1457 dragon fruit is actually great in a lot of ways sadly the more popular it has become the worse quality is avalible. its kind of like how strawberries got bred too much for size and now often aren't as flavorful.
To anyone that doesn't know what dragon fruit tastes like, it's basically tasteless but kinda sweet. The only thing with flavour from the fruit is the skin.
In theory, the binder could be the garlic. Toum is a middle eastern garlic sauce that emulsifies oil with garlic to get a creamy texture. But that doesn't sound anything like this pink sauce. But Toum, dragonfruit, and honey might be a great combo.
Dragonfruit is actually an emulsifier. MatPat simply didn't do it correctly, since he has no experience in food science outside of this channel. I highly recommend the Pink Sauce video by How to Cook That
Fun fact: On the label it says one serving of sauce is 14.4 grams. Since it also says there are 444 servings per bottle, then appearently bottle should have roughly 6.4 KILOS of sauce.
Also if you do it by volume it’s ~1.75 gallons
the math ain't mathin'
@Wrath 🅥 Let's be honest, not gonna click on it
Thanks for doing this math, I was curious about exactly that xD
So, i think i know how she reached that. That is likely how much one batch of this makes and she didnt do the maths to get to the amount per bottle.
Front of my brain: "Ah yes this pink sauce is interesting and she highkey should be taken to court"
Back of my brain: "Why was Mat only wearing one sock?!"
you noticed that?
I thought I was the only one
For real, was surprised I had to scroll down so far to find someone else commenting about it
I rewound the vent part of the video just to confirm he was wearing one sock lol
I read this as his sockless foot first showed up lol
Im surprised the "milk" labeled on the bottle wasn't more talked about. It does say that it includes less than 2% of the stuff, but that was part of the discussion around the sauce since people were calling it out and chef p later made a statement clarifying that she was using powdered milk and thus was shelf stable.
When rehydrated, milk powder might not be shelf stable. The purpose of dry milk is so that there’s no moisture for bacteria and mold to grow
... I don't.. How even... Food Science doesn't work that way!!! They who point of dehydrated foods is there is no moisture/liquid for mold or bacteria to use.
If you add dehydrated anything to something that is a liquad, there is now liquad for mold or bacteria to use as a medium while they eat the formalry dehydrated substrance.
"Chef P" makes herself sound more and more moronic the more she opens her mouth!
@@Purplesquigglystripe exactly. Also many foods are shelf stable when closed but once you open them, then need refrigerated afterwards. Like canned pineapple are fine sitting on the shelf unopened but you open that can and leave it on the counter it'll bad very quickly.
And that's not a "maybe", rehydrated powdered milk is very much no longer shelf stable. It will spoil like any other milk. This lady just has zero clue as to what she is doing. If she knows so little she should've either taken some night classes or found a food scientist or lab to pay to help her learn how to make it shelf stable. Those foods tend to have preservatives and stabilizers for a reason. And they have to be in the right proportions. Like you can't add a pinch of salt and call it preserved. Like to preserve meat in it, you have to bury and cover the meat in it entirely. Like you need a whole jar of it for just a single steak. (This is also way people used to soak and resoak their food in water before cooking. It was to remove most of the salt because it would otherwise contain so much salt that it wouldn't be edible.)
Adding powdered milk doesn't suddenly make the whole thing shelf stable
@@Insertia_Nameia "Those foods tend to have preservatives and stabilizers for a reason."
WHAAAAAAAAT?? Everyone knows the big food companies put preservatives into food is because of... Uhhhh... Profits! You can completely leave it out and it's fine! Food doesn't need to be preserved!

She lost me when she claimed to be a personal chef, yet didn’t know what FDA stood for. All of the other stuff just made me sick to my stomach
I think she might misunderstand what "personal chef" means. Maybe she cooks for herself at home and thinks that's all it takes, instead of actually being a professional hired by someone to cook for them. Either a mistake explaining her knowledge, if you want to give her the benefit of the doubt, or intentional exaggeration to sell her brand with the defense later of it being a mistake because she cooks for herself.
I think she means that she’s a home cook but had to jazz it up because it’s the internet. Like how UA-camrs would put Professional Film Maker on their resume
@@Kahadi I considered that, hence the "claimed". Unfortunately, it’s most likely the latter
she's not a chef, she didn't go to culinary school, otherwise she'd know what fda means and why her product is against the law. other people talking about the situation have mentioned she has a catering service. my guess is she's the cook in the catering service but calls herself a chef to sound fancier and more professional
Her other social media does show pretty elaborate dishes and horderves she's seemingly made for upscale parties, so she may very well be a personal chef. You don't necessarily need to know what FDA stands for to pass a basic food handlers permit test and start working in a kitchen and a personal chef wouldn't even need to have a food handlers permit. She could very well just be the personal chef for some wealthy person somewhere in Florida.
it makes sense why the Dragon Fruit would find no place in the taste category, cause Dragonfruit doesn't even have a signature flavor on its own. It tastes like a very watery, bland kiwi minus the kiwi's acidity. It's the fruit's crunchiness from the seeds that makes it so delicious and fun to eat (literally grab a spoon and go to town).
I can never find a ripe one. They always taste like nothing
1 out of three times I find a ripe one. The red fleshed taste better to me and has kind of a unique sweet taste. That said, probably not worth $5 each. Apples and oranges are way tastier imo.
Prickly pears grow wild around here, so I just used those and a splash of cranberry in my copycat recipe since dragonfruit and prickly pears have similar flavors to me. It came out..not pink, but it was pretty tasty. Also had some weirdly good luck with kiwis mixed with cherry juice.
Dragon fruits when they are ripe taste sweet tbh, but the majority sold in the store arent ripe yet
So basically an over-sized kiwi that decided to get an interesting makeover, inside and out? Now I wanna try it
Hi Matpat, Dragonfruit contains a natural emulsifier in it called pectin, and the spices listed likely include another natural emulsifier mustard. It doesn't look like you did a proper emulsion in your attempt at making the sauce which likely is why it resulted so watery
List didn’t have mustard.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but she could’ve made a dry powder that was intended to be mixed with some ranch and Mayo (so it’s now more shelf stable), had legit labeling, then sold that-since it apparently tastes good-it probably could’ve been a good product too. Just seems the lack of foresight and preparation just made this fiasco worse than it could’ve been.
It already exists - it's called *Pitaya Powder,* and MatPat showed a packet of it near/at the End of the Video (16:24 to be exact). Even then, its only use in the recipe is as a _Food Colouring!_
All the flavour comes from _the Ranch and some Chili Flakes,_ subtly sweetened by _some Honey and Mayonnaise._ So not only does Chef Pii not have a feasiby genuine Product _in the first place,_ but she doesn't even own the rights to sell the _one Ingredient needed_ to make it *its eponymous Pink Colour!*
That is actually fairly similar to how ranch sauce first became a thing.
@@garethbaus5471 Yeah I think I saw a video about it and it just made sense to me
@@lianaverwood9810 I think you misunderstood the comment.... They said the she could've powderized The sauce she made and people can make it at home .... The pitaya powder is basically just coloring
She never intended to make a good product! All she did was do some dumb experiments in her home and once it got popular she immediately jumped on the opportunity to gain a whole crapload of TikTok clout. She never gave a crap about safety and she didn't even know what the FDA was, if you can't see that as a MAJOR red flag then your a lost cause!
fun fact: I work in a restaurant where we use dragon fruit for one of our drinks. I learned that the dragon fruit only adds color and not any flavor, so that might be why the ranch just tasted like ranch. :)
in other words an edible version of this is just ranch sauce with red colorant, good to know some people had more common sense
use powder and save money ;)
Or just mix ketchup with mayonaise
this is exactly what matpat was saying
You can pretty much figure this out just from eating it. Dragonfruit has practically no flavor.
All I could think of during this video: How has this woman not been arrested yet? She's basically selling the "potion" we all made as 5-year olds when we were home alone with condiments and shampoo left unguarded.
I was thinking the same thing. Between the lack of refrigeration, the complete failure of the "nutritional label," probably skirting shipping laws, and the outright fact that some of it has been dangerous; there has to be federal criminal violations here. And given that she seems to have only ramped up when faced with this, she clearly deserves the charges.
Doesn’t she also need a license or permit to sell the stuff too? Idk if she does or doesn’t have one though
Oh my gosh im not the only one who did that?

I am severely allergic to a certain food colourant, even the smallest amount triggers anaphylaxis so this is my biggest nightmare. There’s a reason why there’s a label on all foods with the ingredients listed.
Also egg allergies are becoming extremely common so if she’s using mayo and not declaring it, she can seriously hurt a lot of people who try it
I hate to say it, but that may be why it MAY contain eggs. Which sounds shitty bc if it for sure has egg, than someone who's ok with the possible risk of a little bit of egg being in there may find themselves rushed to the ER.
I hope someone sues her:/
100% agree, I have a sister with an egg and milk allergy, so this sort of problem hits home for me.
i have a deadly egg allergy and the last time i ingested mayo, i had to use my epi pen. She could seriously hurt someone if she doesn't declare that
You do not need egg nor food colouring to make the sauce. You get a pink thick (but less flavourful) sauce by just mixing water, oil, and dragonfruit powder. No mayo needed.

I love the theory she reused the mayonaise bottles, i couldnt stop laughing for a solid minute since i can totally see it.
She said “Reuse reduce recycle 😍”
100% what she did. No wonder it turned out to be a pink petri dish of packaged food poisoning. She's lucky nobody died. The only label that should be on those bottles is☠.
Huh, and here I was thinking that Pink Sauce was just this new trend of "oooh look we added pink food coloring to our ranch/mayo/whatever sauce, aren't we fancy?" But man this rabbit hole of how this product is beyond unsafe and the sheer contempt it's "creator" has for the rightful scorn against her is insane!
Doesn't know what FDA stands for..... the ingredients/"nutrition" list....SHEESH.
It’s just ketchup and mayonnaise/ ranch or whatever
just because someone calls themself a chef, it doesn't mean they are. There are plenty of people who are chefs, but don't call themselves chef. why pink sauce went viral is a mystery to me.
Shes a personal chef.
All that means is she personally cooks her own food lmao

here's a thing I just noticed, at 6:57 (pause it) she uses her MIDDLE finger to lick the sauce, which might mean the woman who's being forced to try it, hates it.
Not only does Chef Pi not know what the 'F' stands for in FDA, but she clearly doesn't know that mayo contains eggs. And her sauce label states: "May contain soy and eggs."
Also in the UK, we have our own 'pink sauce' It's called cocktail sauce. It's basically tomato sauce and mayo mixed in equal quantities with a generous pinch of cayenne pepper. Or burger sauce which is the same as cocktail sauce, but has pickle relish in it too.
@Masterraccoon it's not well known in America, I believe.

@Masterraccoon Yeah, sauce combos are pretty cool, take it from the person that mixed barbeque sauce with ketchup, I'd call it RED SAUCE! Totally creative and original!
@@vjpearce it’s very well known in America lol it’s called fry sauce here
What we call cocktail sauce is ketchup with lemon juice and horseradish served with shrimp and certain kinds of fried seafood

the shade matpat was throwing at the creator of the pink sauce in this video was just so entertaining to watch and very well deserved.
@Recommended For You 🅥 Let's be honest no one cares, the world is ending and there's no escaping our fate, it's best to stop programming bots and instead to spend time with your family until the very end.
@@Nuclear_Talisman best to just report them. if you interact with them they follow you and never leave you alone.
Ah but that shade is not only well deserved, but he would be irresponsible to not do so. Just think of it though he'll get so many views on this that any of the viewers that are Tik Tokers, will post vids showing them making their own home made pink sauce, she'll get buried with the competition, and most of them will just show how to make the sauce cause MatPat did it here first. That'll could become the new trend on TikTok, make your own homemade pink sauce.
This is my favourite episode of food theory ever, and watching this after knowing one of my favorite UA-cam's are quitting youtube, makes the experience of watching this just hide hard!! Luv ur content so much!!💖
I'm impressed by how they keep coming up with interesting ideas for food theories
Well, when you have sus people on the internet, there’s always something to talk about
he actually chose food as a topic for theories because... well... humans have been eating food since existing
so there would be A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT to talk about
@@m_artroom not even suspicious just outright stupid
they're the opposite of people who breathe the wrong way and get thrown into a pit of lava
which is why we should TURN them into people who scratch their nose the wrong way and send them into a human shredder
and then dump it into trash because let's be honest they're probably full of led
I’m pretty sure trends on the internet are giving them the ideas.
Well they created the whole channel so they’ll gonna use the whole channel lol
So how illegal and morally wrong do you want this product rollout to be?
Her: yes
Hearing that she didn't include the "ingredients" in the label is already a big no for me
Also she seems like the type of person who would eat hot cheetos in class, the accent is selling it.
Are we gonna set aside the fact that matt had ONE SOCK on when he “vented”
I was looking for this comment
Steph cringing because as a Marketing pro, she's always like "no socks or feet on camera that's not professional"

@@nicholasfactor that makes sense so he can do both, and it was also the whole video cuz you could see again later
“Have you ever heard of venting Gregory?”
Exactly why I love this guy
10:28 I now see that the recipe calls for distilled *VINGER* not vinegar. Apparently, vinger is a part of a finger. So we're supposed to put severed fingers into the sauce. I see
Honestly, I'm not as surprised as I expected to be
or perhaps we're supposed to use the former municipality in the old Hedmark county, Norway
Ahh so THATS where the color comes from
Ahh so that's how they achieved that beautiful pink colour
kid named vinger:
The only product I’ve seen with that high of a serving amount were giant jugs of ketchup ( I work in food service) that we use to make 150-200 2 oz containers of fry sauce.
Spices can also be in the hundreds
I have a big box of salt with 1133 servings per container
Garlic powder had like 900 servings for a big container and I'm sure most other spices as well
@@noodlelynoodle. were talking abt condiments not powders
@@Idklmfa0 the original person I replied to clearly said product not condiment, you're not even part of the conversation to begin with
Its actually a common misconception that the F in FDA stands for "food". It was actually placed there to pay respects to all the people who died from pink sauce.

Food theory’s intro is by far the best
Okay, the biggest issue with the sauce was shipping in the summer heat. To combat it what she could have done was simply use dry ice to keep it cold, but instead she shipped a perishable sauce in extreme heat
She should have shipped it like those meat companies ship their meat, in a Styrofoam crate with dry ice. Not bubbled mailers 🤦🏻♀
@@kenziehurlock not enough money
@@치추이still, if she’s shipping accounts for a place or she lives in a place where there’s heat waves she should take note. Especially since she’s selling a food product, and she didn’t do that? Also the label with it’s miss spelling and things that just don’t make sense shows that she was pretty careless when making it
i mean, when you buy egg mayo in shops its not refrigerated at all. just because something has potentially perishable fod in it doesnt mean it with spoil
@@L83467 I assume the people who buy her stuff though can live hours away, buying mayo and eggs shouldnt take that long to ship. Also, I'm curious, when you buy eggs and mayo you get it shipped to you?? Usually, I buy it from the store, and since the store has AC, the eggs and mayo can stay good outside of the refrigirators
Most "color mayonnaise" sauces taste good, so if that's her main ingredient and it still doesn't taste good she's really doing something wrong.
I doesn't taste good because she ships the stuff without refrgeration via USPS. In the process it spoils (foods that need refrigeration spoil after a day or two. just enough time to get sick by something shipped through the mail.
@@EndoftheBeginning17 that can’t be the only reason because in the video she had people react to it with her own fresh sauce
@@BigPunDude Well those people tasting the sauce don't look like their actually enjoying it.
From my point of view, it just looks like their being polite.
@Wrath 🅥 have you ever heard the tragedy of joe candice?
@@ForgeReaper that’s what I mean, shipping isn’t the only thing wrong with the sauce because the people having a fresh taste hate it as well
Production Companies: “Ah who cares its not like anyone’s really gonna-“
MatPat: “Allow me to introduce myself”
Im convinced this lady just woke up and was like "oh im gonna make pink sauce!" And didnt even go through any process to get this through and working 😭
Thanks Mat and Stephanie, you've literally saved SOOO many people from having to go to ER 🤢🤮😂 & saved them from wasting $20. Stephanie you've hilarious too especially the oil comment at the end. 🤣🤣
People need to share this video ... a lot. Maybe even put a video on ticktok linking to this video to get that crowd to check it out.
People getting caught in this craze need to know this.
@@metazoxan2 There’s bunch of videos of the pink sauce problem and even recipes for it already, pretty sure ppl know
The pink sauce fiasco was weeks ago. People aren’t still buying it.
And $1500 for going to er
My brother in christ, i dont think people are going to the ER because of pink sauce
UPDATE: A more reputable company took over the production of the pink sauce and the safer version is being sold at Walmart stores now. Also, if you're going to make a food product for the masses, being secretive with the recipe is a sure way to get sued for not listing potential food allergens. IJS.
actually SHE could sue lots of people (including Matt) for making unsubstantiated claims and defamation. there was nobody who got sick from her product and there was no botulism. They ruined her name and brand based on false accusations. Her product is actually legit. the channel "How to cook that" debunked all the false claims. Yes, her label being wrong was a legit claim against her but the rest was bullshit.
also, lots of companies are "secretive" with their recipes and in fact coca-cola protects their recipe as a trade secret.
finally, she wasn't lying about the ingredients, the dragon fruit is the emulsifier. even matt mentions it in the video but doesn't realize that it IS the emulsifier, he was just doing wrong (an honest mistake).
I'm guessing she's not getting the cut she thought she's gonna make
is it good, should you actually apply it
I wouldn’t buy her product out of principle. What she did was irresponsible! Especially when she is a mother and should care. Plus I’ve seen the reviews of the Walmart version and they are mostly negative.
@@Angelicwings1 My thoughts exactly.
11:30 garlic is actually a binding agent. The large amount of garlic in the recipe would have been enough to creamify the sauce…. It also would have been disgusting.
Very disgusting to the fact that I might gag from smelling it.
There are tons of vegetarian sauces in India, a place where egg isn't considered vegetarian by the fssai (FDA of India). So do they use garlic? Or something else?
Ik I can just google it, but yeah, whatever
@@anupamtiwari5587
chutneys are made of fruit that are either really pulpy or congeal when heated, so that takes care of the emulsification.
Very imbalanced. It would be a vampire repelling lotion before it's anywhere near edible.
7:56 can just point out how he’s only wearing one sock😂
I'm with MatPat at the end, I lost it at Steph's "she's going to pour it on someone at the castle gates" 🤣 that's such an incredible visual and I love that her mind went to Medieval forms of Defense 😂
This needs be some food theory merch
They’re adorable lol
that made me laugh so hard
As a Marylander, an easy simple “pink sauce” is Ketchup and Mayonnaise… I usually only use it on when eating crabs but it could work with other foods🤷🏽♂️
Exactly! Came here to say this, I've used it for prawns primarily, tbf it's pretty good with other stuff too. Usually it's called Marie Rose Sauce over here.
Fry sauce is what it is called in Utah.
It’s called fry sauce in the western part of the United States
This is fry sauce, stop capping
That's called Fry Sauce where I am from. There are also a few variations depending on other ingrediats, if you used ranch instead of mayo, or added relish, or a half dozen other things.
The next step is to take all of those different variations, bottle them up and leave them out in the sun for an extended period of time and see which ones explode or change color most accurately to the ones we've seen
A year later and i thought of an amazing line that couldve been used
Who wouldve thought the FOOD and DRUG administration would want a word about a geneva convention violation in food form
I have been the saucier at a few restaurants and when I first heard about pink sauce, I knew nothing good was going to come of it.. It is sad that she was even allowed to sell the product in the first place.. Where I live, restaurants aren't allowed to get product from home businesses.. Because of this exact reason.. People who make stuff at home don't understand food safety most of the time.
I mean seeing how she doesn’t know what the FDA is, she probably isn’t getting any kind of permission selling this. Like I feel she’s even bypassing any shipping rules for food products since this sauce is coming spoiled.
Because she manufactures at home she falls under the states cottage food laws. She is still not allowed to sell perishable goods though. To sell perishable goods not only does one have to have a permit, but a proper facility to manufacture. Honeslty she'd going to end up getting sued one of these days, or worse yet arrested for selling unsafe perishable items and then she is sooo screwed especially if someone gets sick or dies.
The only thing I could think about this whole time is a already existing Pink sauce recipe.
It’s from a pizza place called Pizza Shoppe and they have their own dressing call “The Pink Stuff”. Seems like a similar texture and flavor. I would be curious if you think she just ripped this recipe off..
There are multiple pizza places here locally that sell "pink sauce". I'm not sure what the flavor is but it's been around for a while.
interesting
Heintz makes a mayo ketchup mix that looks very similar to pink sauce .
In the UK if anyone says pink sauce you mean seafood sauce which is just salad cream and ketchup. Which is what I thought this was initially lol
In the UK "The Pink Stuff" is the name of a cleaning product so that really doesn't sound very appetising lol
What I find most interesting about all of this is that pitaya hot sauce exists and could have been made with the ingredients she claimed to have been using (pitaya, honey, garlic, vinegar, onion powder, chili powder). Adding a small amount of stewed pepper like scotch bonnet or habanero would have resulted in a really good hot sauce. Just...if she didn't chase a gimmicky color, and knew what she was doing, she could have made a really good hot sauce.
Also, if she was using preexisting brands for her product, should she be worried about lawsuits? It's one thing to use brand-name chocolate chips when you sell cookies (which is protected by cottage laws) but it's very different when you're seemingly just reselling a dyed brand-name product in its original packaging with a new label added over top.
she should be worried about lawsuits long before the brands show up.
falsifying a nutrition label, not disclosing allergens nor ingredients, not properly shipping perishables, selling food with no fda approval, causing serious health complications in multiple people.
@@DarthZ01 Just waiting for the class action lawsuit to begin
Ironically, everything else will probably protect her from that one. No brand will want to associate itself with the food poisoning enough to prove that it was the one used as an ingredient.
Did anyone else notice that when matpat was venting, he was only wearing ONE sock?
After hearing about the servings per container comment, I immediately went and grabbed my can of non-stick cooking spray, knowing they are able to say it has zero calories and zero everything else by claiming that the serving size is ridiculously small. As I suspected, 753 servings per container.
Just checked my non stick spray, 1,532 servings lol
It’s always absolutely delightful (or even delicious) to see scammers get publicly called out
IDK dude 'Pepto Bismol in a bottle' is where I draw the line.
Except she got a brand deal from it
7:58 Im more concerned about Matpat only wearing one sock…
How dare you! Wearing only one sock is clearly the superior way!

i think this is just homemade mayo(since you have eggs,oil) and in Philippines we have this pink salt used to preserve food (which turns the food pink)
Here in Argentina we have a pink sauce that's made out of beetroot! It's actually very good and safe to eat since it's just beet puree with lemon and seasonings 😋
That honestly sounds way more delicious than "Pink Sauce"!
Sounds significantly more appealing...
The pink sauce is the Argentinian pink sauces evil twin
Well that sounds good. I love trying actual condiments from other countries. I remember eating a purple/blue ketchup while I was in the Philippines
See, I was thinking that beets could be used as a natural dye

No. Masteph (Take out the t) that way it sounds like the dog breed!

I bet the sauce has been getting lighter in color because she’s putting less dragon fruit in. You could probably use beets to achieve the same color and it would be more cost effective…
Also the initial change in color was by far the most dramatic. I bet her first tiktok was just slammed together randomness and she realized oh wait now I need to remake it.
Or just standard food dye...
Beets might also change the flavor xD
@@chrisriley2321 not really. beets and dragon fruit powder have really mild flavor. unless you put a lot, under the flavor profile of all the other ingredients makes it barely distinguishable.

I actually came across a bottle of this on the shelf at Walmart yesterday, it looked even more different than when MatPat made this episode! Looking at the label myself it was as crazy as he said and of course I bought it to make sure I documented the discovery. It now sits on my windowsill and I laugh at it as I walk by.
Did you try it?
