Danish Veterinary and Food Administration remembers Samyang immediate noodles over ‘intense poisoning’ danger.
Denmark has actually prohibited a number of ranges of a popular South Korean immediate noodle brand name for being too hot, recommending customers that the intense food positions a poisoning danger.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration stated on Tuesday that it had actually remembered the noodles produced by Samyang Foods since their capsicum levels are “so high that they posture a danger of the customer establishing intense poisoning”.
The choice implies that the Buldak 3x Spicy & & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew ranges of immediate ramen might no longer be offered in Danish stores.
The food regulator stated customers who had actually bought the items must discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased.
“Chili in big amounts positions a danger to kids and frail grownups in specific. Possible signs consist of burning and pain, queasiness, throwing up and hypertension,” stated Henrik Dammand Nielsen, head of the company’s Chemistry and Food Quality Division.
“Therefore, we are now requiring that shops eliminate the items from their racks.”

Nielsen stated the noodles’ capsicium levels were discovered to be even greater than those discovered in chilli chips that had actually caused a variety of poisoning cases amongst kids in Germany.
“Therefore, it is very important that moms and dads know the severe noodle variations and prevent them,” he stated.
The statement triggered a flurry of entertained responses on social networks, consisting of quips about Danish individuals’s absence of tolerance for hot food.
Danish food is not understood for its usage of spices. Standard meals consist of poached cod, open sandwiches and meatballs referred to as frikadeller.
Samyang Foods, whose head office remains in Seoul, did not instantly react to an ask for remark.
South Korea’s exports of instantaneous noodles have actually signed up double-digit yearly development in the last few years, which regional media have actually credited to the explosive appeal of Korean dramas and movies overseas.
Samyang Foods represented the bulk of the exports, which reached $270m in the very first 3 months of 2024.
South Korean ramen producers’ abroad sales struck a record $108.6 m in April, up almost 50 percent from the very same duration the previous year, according to the Korea Customs Service.
