FYI, this is the actual stuff the guy is talking about.

The ingredients are anise, clove, cinnamon, ginger, all spice. It is not "pho powder--chicken and beef'. It is a time saver to use the packaged spices instead of measuring them out.
So he is just completely wrong.
From one of my comments in a different post...
Ingredients
Directions
Note: Need a little more sweet, add a very small lump of sugar at a time. Remember that sipping the broth alone without any noodles in a bowl, you will want it to be a little saltier and sweeter than you would expect. When dip your noodles in the boiling water and drop in your bowl, it will water down the broth slightly.
Note2: My family does not use fish sauce in pho as it adds too much of a funk to long cooking soups/broths like pho. We add it at the table to individual bowls if the diner wants it.
Note3: The Pho Hoa spice bags are the same spices you would use to make pho, but ground up and put into little tea bags. Sure it is better to have all fresh spices, but it's just more convenient to have these little bags in the pantry. This is an amazon link, but go to your local Asian/Vietnamese market. It'll be a lot cheaper there.
I've gotten Gia Vi Nau Pho (Pho Hoa) Beef Noodle Soup Spices sachets from Amazon.
