Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.

Denmark's food agency issued the recall and warning on Tuesday, urging consumers to abandon the product.

It's unknown if any specific incidents have prompted the Danish authorities into taking action.

I've basically decided to give up on Buldak.

I like spicy food, generally, but I ate the black one too and it was all spice and no taste.

I then tried one that was supposed to be cheese flavour (and not even the spicy cheese flavour, just regular normal cheese) and that was also somehow just spicy in a really boring way.

The pink carbo one isn't bad. Definitely has other flavours in there, not just spicy. That said, I also don't add the entire sachet of hot sauce...

There is no Buldak flavor that isn't spicy. They all start with the same "hot chicken" base flavoring, then have additional flavorings added. The 2x and 3x varieties just have more capsaicin in the base. Like, a LOT more. I bought a 4 pack of 2x by mistake (thought it was original) and had to force myself to finish a bowl. It was painful. The regular spicy versions I would consider to be about the equivalent of a bowl of ramen with a few dashes of a relatively spicy hot sauce. Tasty and not unpleasant for me at all. But everyone's tolerance levels are different.

Thanks for the confirmation that Buldak is, then, not really for me :)

I thought the same about this brand. The grocery store I go to sells these and I was disappointed after buying a pack. Shin Ramyun is so much better.

The Jajangmyeon(?) flavor is delicious
