Except, then people actually TRIED it and the results were... not good. Today, I want to figure out what went wrong with the Pink Sauce - from the recipe to the regulations. Let's get cooking!

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.

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.

[@taylerkolin3075]

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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).

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.
