'Not harmful to health': Korea's Buldak spicy noodles return to shelves as Denmark reverses recall - eviltoast

Buldak spicy noodles are back on shelves in Denmark after the food authorities there canceled part of their recall decision concerning the famous Korean instant noodles product, originally issued due to their extreme spiciness and consequent health risks.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced, Monday (local time), that two of the three products that had been recalled were not harmful to health, based on updated risk assessments.

“Based on the new analysis results and the DTU Food Institute’s updated risk assessment, the administration concludes that two of the products, Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Hot Chicken and Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Stew, do not contain capsaicin levels as high as those reported by the distributors in the marketing,” the Danish administration said in a press release.

    I eat them all the time, but I’m a freak of nature that uses hot sauces like mad dog 357 gold edition and da bomb on all my food. I think jalapeños to me are about as spicy to pickles for most people.

      I’ve had to deal with people think fresh ground black pepper and Costco pickles are too intense. I generally suggest they cook at home instead.
