The food authorities said the instant ramen contained such high capsaicin levels consumers could be poisoned.

Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.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

    Oh, no! Send it to me, I’ll take care of it.

    I say this having just finished a big bowl of noodles, pork, onions, carrots, and cabbage doused in sriracha

      You might have a high spice tolerance, I don’t know, but if you are exemplifying Sriracha as an example, I would suggest caution. Korean spicy food doesn’t play when it says things like “2x heat!” on the package.

      Sriracha is about 2200SHU, the recalled noodles are 10,000SHU.

      If you enjoy Korean red paste, it’s a good heat, but some people don’t quite know what they are getting into. If you’re used to eating 100k or 200k SHU stuff, go for it, but I know there’s a lot of tolerance variation from 2k to 200k people.

        SHU is weird anyway. I’ve tried toothpick drops of the Source (7.1m) and it wasn’t all that bad, but a good chili oil will fuck me. There are a lot of variables. How it coats your mouth and what you’re having with it matters a lot, too.
