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.

I actually tried a pack after seeing the previous article and recognizing them in the store. So news article marketing worked.

They're really spicy though. To a level where it's no longer enjoyable. On my second pack I only added 1/3 the included sauce and it was far better. I was used to Nissin packets of Soba-chili noodles and loved those. These Buldak packs are like 4-5 times as spicy.

They are hotter than a habenero burn. It is a slow burn though, so it's mellow. If you aren't used to that heat, it may be uncomfortable.

Buldak is a bit too spicy for me to enjoy. But Nongshim Shin Ramyun is much better tasting, and highly recommend for those that like spicy noodles that aren't pure fire.
