Dansk Fødevarestyrelse: bans product containing poisonous amounts of popular chemical
Rest of the world: laughs at Denmark for "not being able to handle spicy food" 🙄
Negative reactions to capsaicin generally only happen when people who are unused to spicy foods ingest something too spicy for their level of tolerance. So yes, this is Denmark "not being able to handle spicy food". The problem here is probably people with zero tolerance trying to eat it as a 'challenge'.
That's a common misconception. One that leads to many poisonings of "seasoned veterans" every year.
No, this is the Danish food agency doing their job of minimizing preventable food poisoning.
Again with the common misconception. No matter how many times you've heard people who love spicy food say that doesn't make it true and neither does YOUR repeatedly claiming it.
Source for YOUR claims?
Already posted several in the comment you originally replied to..
None of that contradicts my point about tolerance...
