A South Korean company's spicy noodles were recalled by Denmark's food authorities after the products were found to contain too much capsaicin, which is a neurotoxin.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration announced the recall of three types of South Korean spicy instant noodle products because the capsaicin, or chili pepper extract level is so high it could pose a health hazard. Seoul-based Samyang Foods — considered one of the South Korea’s largest companies — makes the noodles which are sold around the world.
That is why we are now demanding shops remove the products from their shelves,' the agency said. In a statement provided to the media in South Korea, Samyang Foods said they understood the recall came because of the spiciness of the product, not because of the quality. Fox News Digital has reached out to Samyang Foods for comment. Spicy food challenges are nothing new and have been around for years. Sometimes the challenges include local chili pepper eating contests, while other times the challenge may be to make it onto a restaurant wall of fame by completely consuming extra spicy dishes.
Massachusetts teen with a congenital heart defect participated in a spicy tortilla chip challenge on social media back in September, but ultimately died from eating a large quantity of chili pepper extract. The Associated Press obtained the autopsy report, which showed the 10th grader died after eating the Paqui chip as part of the manufacturer’s 'One Chip Challenge.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
