Samyang Buldak Noodles are banned in Denmark “because the capsaicin content in the products is so high that it can cause acute poisoning”

This seems both hilarious and ridiculous to me. When I saw this, I assumed it was for an actual reason, but apparently they just really don’t like spice! Are we, /r/spicy, at war now?
They issued a recall for the noodles earlier today. If anyone else knows any details about what could have caused this, such as an actual incident in Denmark, I’d love to know.

The raid on Copenhagen must be fiery and fierce. Stuff your pockets with reapers men, we ride at dawn!

If Mexico banned it then maybe I would try them.

Unintentionally amazing advertising for Buldak

Deeming it “poisonous” is such an exaggeration. Ban alcohol then as well since hangovers are such a “poisonous” experience too.

Can confirm, went to Copenhagen and had some of the best food I’ve ever had. But my god are they trying to avoid spice
Ooorm
Uuhh… I’ve heard different opinions on this, but can capsaisin even be classified as poisonous in any sense?

Something is off with these noodles. I like them, but no fucking way they are like 8-12 000 scoville like some people claim that the company themselves claim. They are tougher to eat than Carolina Reaper crisps I regularly eat.
I understand why Danmark forbids them because it feels like false advertisement. My guess would be at the very least one and a half million scoville.
Will have to see if our politicians here in Sweden do something as well. Hopefully not because I enjoy these noodles. It’s just bullshit that they are 8-12k scoville. No fucking way lol

Regarding the important matter of Buldak noodles, I put just a few drops and save the rest of the sauce for other recipes throughout the week. I also consider anyone that pours the full package of sauce on the noodles and eats the entire thing a masochist.

So what you’re telling me is that the Danish are governed by idiots?

I like Buldak ramen, but I don’t love it. The flavor is pretty nasty and you can do better. Can you get Indomie noodles? Med spice but so much tastier than Buldak IMO. They need to be “jazzed up” with some extra sauce, which this community is suited to.

So like… Are all hot sauces banned now too?

I supposed I understand. I mean, what can we expect from a nation where salt is already too spicy?

My son brought home norovirus after I had consumed the 3x noodles.
They came back out the same way they went in, needless to say I cannot eat them anymore sadly

The same reason why Dave’s Insanity Sauce among others are banned. It is classified as a “neurotoxin”

Of course it’s a European country banning spicy food lol

That’s fucking absurd!

People should be discouraged from eating them (instant noodles in general) because of the excessive sodium and artificial seasoning (which leads to a bunch of health problems), but banning them because of how spicy they are is stupid.

How spicy are the 2x. I’ve never tried any of the Vidal noodles.

I used to love these noodles, then I had them a bit too much and now I don’t really like them. Their distinctive flavour just doesn’t appeal to me anymore.
