Children have been doing challenges on TikTok and Instagram, which entail drinking extremely spicy soup.
Denmark has recalled three varieties of “extremely hot” instant ramen made by South Korean company Samyang, claiming that the levels of capsaicin in them could lead to acute poisoning, especially in children.
The food agency assessed the levels of capsaicin in a single packet to be “so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning”, the BBC said. The instant noodles are sold at supermarkets and speciality stores across Denmark, as well as via online stores. It also said that eating chilli in large quantities poses a risk to children and frail adults, in particular. Possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting and high blood pressure, it added.
Samyang Foods said it was the first time the company’s products had been recalled because they were deemed too hot, and added that it would work to better understand local regulations in export markets.
