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.
Damn, Denmark really just called Buldak not as spicy as the label says.
And apparently that’s better? You’d think they’d get in trouble for the false advertising now.
Better to get in trouble for false advertising than actually dangerously high capsaicin content, I suppose.
False advertising by the Danish themselves.
Okay, this is the funniest possible option. It was just a circle of Danish people panicking each other over the scary spicy noodles. No actual issue was ever present by any empirical definition.
