Danish fans of spicy instant noodles were left with empty bowls in June 2024 when authorities deemed one brand too spicy. The offending noodles were Samyang's packets of Hot Chicken Stew, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said the levels of capsaicin in just one serving of these noodles were 'so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning'. Yikes.
