Buldak spicy noodles are back on shelves in Denmark after the food authorities there canceled part of their recall decision concerning the famous Korean instant noodles product, originally issued due to their extreme spiciness and consequent health risks.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced, Monday (local time), that two of the three products that had been recalled were not harmful to health, based on updated risk assessments.

"Based on the new analysis results and the DTU Food Institute's updated risk assessment, the administration concludes that two of the products, Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Hot Chicken and Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Stew, do not contain capsaicin levels as high as those reported by the distributors in the marketing," the Danish administration said in a press release.

Wow. I had no idea the Danes were such wussies. Too spicy. Lol

*I stand by what I said. The 2x and 3x are not very terrible on the spicy scale. The article claims the 3x is around 13,000 shu. I'm actually guessing that's a typo/mistake and it's supposed to be 130,000 SHU. Jalapeños are usually around 10,000 to 20,000 and the noodles are hotter than that. Serrano peppers float around 90k or so. Habanero peppers are usually 150k or more. Peppers vary wildly based on growing conditions.

I've tried them. They are REALLY fucking spicy. Most likely a typo.

I eat them all the time, but I'm a freak of nature that uses hot sauces like mad dog 357 gold edition and da bomb on all my food. I think jalapeños to me are about as spicy to pickles for most people.

I've had to deal with people think fresh ground black pepper and Costco pickles are too intense. I generally suggest they cook at home instead.

Sriracha red is about the most you can throw at people not accustomed to spiciness before they get more than mildly uncomfortable, that is, people who actually still taste all of it, haven't build a tolerance. That's about 3000 scoville.

Yes, people eat jalapenos over here. With other stuff. Habaneros? Only people eating those pure are people thinking they look cool doing it.

Also, IMNSHO, nothing above about 10000 should be eaten without Szechuan pepper. And you can definitely start adding it as low as 2000.
