Denmark Recalls Ramen For Being Too Spicy

Denmark’s food agency has recalled three spicy flavors of Samyang instant ramen for being too hot. “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 South Korean company said in a statement. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration claims the levels of capsaicin in a packet were “so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning.” The noodles do not seem to have been recalled for its capsaicin levels in any other country.
