Read our privacy policy Denmark has recalled three flavours of instant ramen noodles by South Korean company Samyang Foods, saying the high levels of capsaicin in the products could potentially poison customers. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration issued the recall on Tuesday, asking consumers to stop buying Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen 3x Spicy, Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen 2x Spicy and Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Stew Type. Three variants of the instant ramen noodle line recalled in Denmark Samyang’s noodles have been used in the popular Fire Noodle Challenge, which began in 2014 and involves YouTubers trying to finish an entire serving of Samyang’s Buldak-Bokkeum-Myeon aka Korean Fire Noodles, which roughly translates to “hot stir-fried chicken noodles”. According to Ramen Rater, the Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen 3x Spicy is at a 13,200 SHU on the Scoville scale, Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen 2x Spicy at 10,000 SHU, and the Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Stew Type at 4,705.
