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.
Speaking of, Scovilles should generally be listed on packaging, also, when you buy raw chillis, some approximate number of what you can expect. At least for stuff over what 500 or so.
Their tamest ones have ~9000, that’s 3x red Sriracha meanwhile there’s other products on the shelves where “extra hot” means 2000 SCU no wonder people are calling poison hotlines.
