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 got some buldak instant noodles to try. They are very very spicy. Ive definitely been served spicier foods at restaurants, but i dont think ive ever had a spicier instant ramen packet

Lee Nong Shim spicy are the best though. I don't like their Black variety, but standard red spicy rock. I've a feeling they're a connected brand or a relabel.

Naw Nongshim and Samyang are different companies. Samyang is actually the first instant ramen company in SK, while Nongshim is the largest instant noodles company in SK. Completely different ramens too, Nongshim's is powder/veg packet, Samyang's is a red ass hot sauce packet (well, for their flagship, they have more flavors). And Samyang is much hotter, but they're both good!

I like good instant noodles...

Ah so x3 is still banned.

People should be careful around extreme spicy food because it can cause harm.

White nations need to quit confusing hotness with spiciness, except those that are actually complaining about spiciness. Those just need shut the fuck up. Source: I'm white.

I'm pretty sure average Danish horseradish would kill your usual WASP. And don't get me started on that abomination Americans call mustard. Or alioli.

Go, go ahead, take a bulb of garlic, remove the sprouts, put them in pestle and mortar and mush them through with some good olive oil and salt until you have a nice emulsion. Taste the result and dare again to speak about "white people and spice". Nope, it's American puritans who invented corn flakes and Graham crackers so people would stop masturbating.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
