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

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.

A coworker of mine introduced me to these about five or six years ago, when they could only be acquired in specialty Asian grocery stores. Now I can get them at Shaws and I fuckin love them. I’ve got three packs in my pantry at the moment. They’re best if you add microwaved chicken nuggets to them.

I actually tried a pack after seeing the previous article and recognizing them in the store. So news article marketing worked.

They’re really spicy though. To a level where it’s no longer enjoyable. On my second pack I only added 1/3 the included sauce and it was far better. I was used to Nissin packets of Soba-chili noodles and loved those. These Buldak packs are like 4-5 times as spicy.

Buldak is a bit too spicy for me to enjoy. But Nongshim Shin Ramyun is much better tasting, and highly recommend for those that like spicy noodles that aren’t pure fire.

They are hotter than a habenero burn. It is a slow burn though, so it’s mellow. If you aren’t used to that heat, it may be uncomfortable.

Damn, Denmark really just called Buldak not as spicy as the label says.

“skill issue”

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.

awesome_lowlander ,

According to the report, the capsaicin levels were calculated based on the Scoville scale information disclosed on Danish retail websites selling the noodles, rather than the noodles themselves, as no specific measurements of capsaicin or total capsaicin content are provided by the manufacturer.

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.

Dearth ,

I got some buldak instant noodles to try. They are very very spicy. Ive definitely been served spicier foods at restaurants, but i dont think ive ever had a spicier instant ramen packet

Good for Denmark.

Good. I’m sick of this nanny state bullshit.

This and one chip was bullshit.

bstix ,

The “one chip challenge” did hospitalize several people and caused the death of a child with heart defect. They are potentially unsafe.

Not wanting those kind of crap products sold in the food section and advertised towards kids isn’t nanny stating.

There is no way a kid could make a qualified judgement themselves when it’s placed and marketed next to ordinary safe consumables.

I don’t mind these products being sold, but I do have higher expectations for safety of products sold in a food section.

Someone got the 3x spicy buldak where I work and it’s hot as fuck. I didn’t know there was a 3x version, the 2x was already hotter than I like. Still had to try it.

I want to try 3x, but I can only find 2x around here and don't want to pay thirty bucks for one package from a scalper on Amazon lol

Buldak is back on the menu, boys!
