I bought this from you a couple of month ago and it has lost all its pink color. What does that mean?

The pink is only there to alert some that it is not regular salt and will have no impact on the product.

Well, clearly the curing mix has chemically changed a bit. I strongly suspect -and I taught college-level chemistry for many years- that this loss of color is simply due to small chemical changes that caused the dye to fade. As I recall, the colorant is derived from beets, and is sensitive to changes in pH (acidity). I'd still use it if it were mine, as I can't see how the material can really "go bad." It will still cause any corned beef to turn the attractive, traditional pink as that color change in the meat is induced by one of the salts in the mixture, and not the dye. The dye is simply a marker to help distinguish the curing mixture from salt or sugar; it is not a necessary component of the mixture. Well, clearly the curing mix has chemically changed a bit.

Mine is a very bright fuscia pink. My grand daughter loves playing with it!

It's hot pink. In hindsight I wouldn't buy this again. It's flimsy and fell apart too soon.

It does change color during the last minutes; but mine lost all its color within a month of using it.

I am getting the same thing. A distinct pink line on the spongey part (you have to lift up plastic, right after max line) and a pink line at the control spot. Not sure what that means, but I am also confused.

I am not sure what you mean but mine looks just like the picture. I bought it through amazon.

Hmm, mine was only blue, I would email the seller or manufacturer, it could be a recent change as well.

Dear Elisa, Sorry for the inconvenience. We don't have the pink color of this item. If you have any question, pls feel free to contact me. Best Regards! Yours sincerely, Abby

There is NO pink. I think they just "blocked it in as pink" or painted it in just to show you it was not a solid piece. The "pink part" is actually a hollow space. Hope this helps.

Mine showed this one pictured when i ordered it but I received one that was all pink on top with zebra print on the flap part and the very tip of the top. The one is got was suppose to be out of stock. They gave me a slight discount so I kept it.

I don't know. When I bought it the pic was blue, but a pink one arrived. It's fine with me, no one sees it anyway.

I think you might need to adjust your screen settings; I'm not seeing a pink tone in the picture.And mine showed up Ivory, as the description says.

Mine was hot pink. I don't think you can know ahead of time what color yours will be.
