Denmark recalls Korean ramen for being too spicy

Denmark has recalled several spicy ramen noodle products by South Korean company Samyang, claiming that the capsaicin levels in them could poison consumers.

Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.

Denmark's food agency issued the recall and warning on Tuesday, urging consumers to abandon the product.

But the maker Samyang says there's no problem with the quality of 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 firm said in a statement to the BBC.

Has anyone here tried these noodles before? I’ve had them a few times and I don’t think they’re too spicy.

I mean if they allowed it, the body could form a resistance to it, which would make it safe to eat anyways.

They must not allow ghost peppers or anything else extremely spicy in that country, either.

Scandinavians are some of the whitest of white people. White people find water and toothpaste spicy.

I'm surprise that Denmark did not test Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew before importing the Korean Ramen, and recalling the food because of capsaicin levels in them could poison consumers..

I wouldn't like it if spicy.
