Socialites, do y’all recall the infamous $20 Pink Sauce that went viral last year on TikTok? Well, it’s been reported that those who missed out on getting their hands on a bottle from its creator Chef Pii during the month-long hype are in luck because the sauce will soon be stocked at your local Walmart. Over the summer of 2022, the pink sauce became of the most trending products on the social media platform.
But the condiment quickly raised a lot of eyebrows with consumers who were puzzled by the lack of ingredients listed on the bottle and little information about the product’s exact flavor. To make matters worse, the nutritional label had several errors in it, while others asserted that the lack of preservatives in the recipe made it unsafe for people to consume if not shipped refrigerated.

But after overcoming a multitude of obstacles in rectifying her mistakes, Chef Pii partnered with hot sauce brand Dave’s Gourmet, which is now bringing Pink Sauce to 4,300 Walmart stores across the country, starting in mid-January, Yahoo reports. Walmart will be an exclusive retailer, meaning that Pink Sauce will only be purchased from its stores or directly on its official website. The aforementioned company assured that the sauce has been “manufactured under FDA guidelines.”
Nay-sayers who criticized Chef Pii for the sauce were certainly very opinionated about Walmart jumping onboard to sell the condiment, though it should be clarified that the version sold by the retail corporation will have already passed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulation.
Pii posted a photo to her Instagram on Wednesday as she stood in front of a Walmart store with two bottles of the new-and-improved pink sauce, seemingly confirming the report of her major business venture. One of her followers congratulated her success, writing, “Knowing a bit of what you went through to get to where you are currently , is definitely a piece of hope for those striving to succeed.
The pink sauce lady is Walmart…
