Tag: Denmark food recall

In June 2024, the Danish Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for several varieties of Samyang's Buldak instant ramen, citing dangerous levels of capsaicin that could pose a risk of "acute poisoning". This action left many consumers wondering: **Why are they banning Buldak noodles?**

In a surprising move that made global headlines in mid-2024, Danish food authorities recalled several Buldak ramen products, a viral spicy noodle brand from South Korea. The official reason was that their extreme capsaicin levels posed a risk of "acute poisoning," especially to children. This decision, however, ignited a social media firestorm and a larger conversation about cultural differences in food tolerance.
