What Causes Reddish Pink Colored Stool?

I ate sweet and sour sauce today. Shortly after returning home I went to the bathroom and my stool had some redish-pink color. Not the entire amount of stool. Just a small section. Also, as I wiped the paper was a little redish-pink. Could it have been caused from the sweet and sour sauce?

Dear- thanks for using our service. The sweet and sour sauce can change the color of your stool temporary. It is important to check your stool for few days to make sure that is not rectal bleeding.However, rectal bleeding will be more fresh blood when moves the bowel or dark stool.
I hope that my advise will be helpful
