Buldak noodles with the iconic chicken spitting fire mascot have always been the top choice for spicy noodles.
However, it seems that the Danish government has recalled several Buldak noodles as they were just too spicy. These are the Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken, and Hot Chicken Stew.
According to BBC, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration had issued a recall and urged all consumers not to consume the product.
The reason for doing so was cited as “having a capsaicin level so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning.”
“If you have the products, you should discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased.”
In addition to that, the food agency also emphasised never to let children consume the noodles as it might cause harm.
The maker of Buldak, Samyang, said that there is actually no problem with the food.
“We understand that the Danish food authority recalled the products, not because of a problem in their quality but because they were too spicy.”
“The products are being exported globally. But this is the first time they have been recalled for the above reason,” they elaborated.
The instant noodle company has also said they would look into the local regulations.
