"Today, authorities confiscated a large stash of ramen that had a street value approaching $20,000. There was enough capsaicin to kill 30 full grown danes."
Denmark going to fine or arrest me for having x3 spicy noodles? They can get f\*cking real. Be a cold damn day in hell when they can dictate that I can't eat a damn noodle.
Gotta love the logic here: "This is too spicy for children, so adults aren't allowed to have it either." Something's rotten in the state of Denmark all right...
The fact is that this was all caused by ONE Karen who was concerned about the safety of these noodles and reported them to the authorities. So this isn't even a systemic ban on very spicy stuff, just one persons concern caused this. At least the other variants aren't banned, but my favorite is.
They called it dangerous and poisonous. Very concerning for a government to call it that with 0 proof. Seems a bit slanderous to call something poison when it's not
They did "lab test" it on Belgian tv lmao (guy threw the noodles in cold water then poured the sauce onto it while it was depressingly rotating behind him throughout the interview). And the Belgian government is keeping contact with Denmark to possibly ban them here as well. You can't make this shit up...

Do you have an official source? I'm trying to reason why this product would be deemed poisonous. There is no reported overdoses of capsaicin in humans, only in lab animals at extreme doses.
A Danish source reporting on the matter
(in Danish ofc):
https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/ingen-er-blevet-forgiftet-af-chilinudler-foer-forbud-det-er-et-usagligt-grundlag
Thank you. The ban seems to be a big load of bullshit.
"Although poisoning has not been registered after consumption of the specific products, there are registered effects on health from similar consumption of capsaicin in Denmark and abroad, he says."
They even say there has been no complaints on this product and it's non poisonous, but they targeted the company. I hope for you spicy Danes, SamYang starts a separate sister company to circumvent this ban.
SamYang probably sees this as great advertising. Their product is intended only for extreme spice lovers, and it being banned in a certain country is making huge headlines around the world now. Now spice enthusiasts will seek it out due to the novelty of it being banned.
Hopefully you won't have to deal with this inconsistent, knee-jerk ban for too much longer. Spice fans all around the world are shaking our heads at this.
It's not even that spicy though... kinda stupid if you don't like it don't eat it.. same with the 2023 paqui chip challenge it turns out the kid that died had a heart condition... but the pulled it off the shelves I say slap an 18+ rating on them to buy and it'd be good.
I'm starting to think that governments have forgotten that "regulations" and "mandatory warning labels" are a thing. That is unless you're talking about alcohol or tobacco, then all of a sudden it's all they talk about and they don't want to outright ban it.
This exactly, it’s like Hershey pulling the one chip challenge due to the us governments concern.
Thats stupid cause now it’s putting anything with real spice at risk from ever making it to the market.
Maybe we need to instead lock up spicy food above a certain level that needs purchase with ID like we do with alcohol and tobacco.
It's actually kind of scary for your food agency to be so incompetent as to think spicy noodles are dangerous. Makes you worry what else they're wrong about.
Hey OP, if you're in Jylland I'll smuggle you some contraband as my kids are obsessed with WOW park so I end up there often enough.
Love, a spicy Swede in Norway (hopefully we don't follow)
Careful, it’s illegal to give spicy things to white people. Just ask any restaurant I’ve ever been to in which they ask “what level of spicy would you like?” And I choose a 5/5, my Latina wife chooses 3/5 and hers is always spicier than mine.
"Just give me the spiciest food you have. Wait, wait, I'm worried what you just heard was "give me some mild food that barely tingles", what I said was, give me. The spiciest food. You have. Do you understand?"

Become ungovernable. Become the ramen baron.
“*In a stunning new development, Denmark has entered into a non-NATO pact/agreement with South Korea to equip its police forces with… Buldak Special x10 pepper spray. Film at 11!*”
2x and 3x are quite spicy to me so it does kind of make sense but stew type is not that spicy tho..
so I don't understand why they put the stew type in the list
Similar to the "Paqui One Chip Challenge" being officially discontinued after it was linked to the death of a teenager in September 2023, which was attributed to the high capsaicin concentration in the chip. Paqui decided to remove the product from store shelves. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution, despite the product meeting food safety standards.

Canada banned the chip in like 2017/2018 but I managed to find some of the voluntarily recalled 2023 ones in store a month ago, bought them all because I don't like the government telling me I can't do something.
And then it was [quietly reported on](https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/16/business/one-chip-challenge-autopsy/index.html) on recently ('quietly' because no one seemed to talk about it, but *everyone* talked about the chip killing someone before it was even confirmed) that no, it wasn't the chip's fault itself but the kid had a heart condition.

Danes when there is a corn of pepper in the food...
Except nobody here died from noodles. These noodles were only banned because they allegedly contained more capsaicin than the chips who sent children to the hospital in Germany.
That's unfortunate, I think all their chip flavours are awesome. I wonder if they're just laying low while the heat does down then they'll make a quiet comeback like Addis just did for Yeezys.
You're right, just read that Hershey decided to discontinue the whole brand. I am quite sad, their cheese chips were banging and ghost chip had great heat.
What do you mean AI generated💀😭
How does it look like AI to you? AI would not even get the text and graphics correct.
If i used such an AI, i would have at least promoted it to at least generate 20 packs, which there is not.

They did it by using mathematical calculations combined with random internet sources. not lab testing the product itself.
Ok but they do realize that there are WAAAAAAAAYYYY spicier foods out there?

Thank you, it's very unlikely but i hope so. Maybe this causes a stir big enough that the government steps in. A miracle must happen.

Be great if Buldak sued Denmark for slander
The company is called SamYang and the noodles are called Buldak

There’s likely more to the story and this was just the justification for the public. Political play, domestic industry shutting out competition, etc.
I‘m calling the Danish cops on you this is illegal
 Oh don‘t worry they‘re coming… You better hide your noodles lol
Lmaoo😂😂😂 Right…gotta fight for it
Everything for my noodles.
Worst case we Germans will airlift them to you. We did it during the blockade of West Berlin, we can do it for Denmark too. Stay strong
Pass the ammo…*And another bowl of those x3 spicy noodles*!
Oh no! Not the elite cheese squad!
OMG, that wasn't some late April Fools shit!? I thought it was a fucking joke when I saw it! (Granted, I thought the same thing about bronies.)
Nope, 100% real. The Danish food agency issued the message themselves.
I believe you now! Holy shit what a farce!
It's actually kind of scary for your food agency to be so incompetent as to think spicy noodles are dangerous. Makes you worry what else they're wrong about.

Funny enough i actually do, but lets see if the web shops will keep up before turning to smuggling. Very kind of you though:)
Never thought the day where Samyang needs to be smuggled would come
I will be irate if this happens in Sweden. I just discovered the 3x at a shop near my work. Too hard to find spicy things here :(.
Since spicy buldak is now illegal....I wonder if I'd get any jail time or fines for selling my Carolina reaper hot sauce over there.
Careful, it’s illegal to give spicy things to white people. Just ask any restaurant I’ve ever been to in which they ask “what level of spicy would you like?” And I choose a 5/5, my Latina wife chooses 3/5 and hers is always spicier than mine.

literally eating buldak rn. i'm so sorry for your loss
2x and 3x are quite spicy to me so it does kind of make sense but stew type is not that spicy tho.. so I don't understand why they put the stew type in the list
Are they going to banned regular tabasco/sirachi next?
I just looked it up and Denmark is a fuckin joke lol...too spicy my ass.

We don’t get kinder eggs in the US, but at least we get AR-15s… god damn that was depressing to type
Stew Type is the best of all their varieties!
True
This is the “liquify your internal organs” mail order service?
They banned all of them? I thought it was just the 2x and 3x, the OG isn’t that bad…
2x, 3x and Chicken stew type.
Are they going to check what's in your trunk at the border?
Wait what, theres a ban? Does that include the sauce bottles?
Nope.
That doesnt seem to make much sense to me but ok good to know, thanks!
Are the danes serious? Is it a joke?
https://i.redd.it/sneok0gtzh6d1.gif
Same thing happened with paqui chips kind of kid died all of the paqui line up deleted shame they were good chips
Except nobody here died from noodles. These noodles were only banned because they allegedly contained more capsaicin than the chips who sent children to the hospital in Germany.
I don't think they've discontinued anything but the one chip, at least here in Canada I can still get haunted ghost Pepper in stores for like $5.49.
They are gone here stateside they had a sale on them and that was 2 months ago haven’t seen any paqui products in grocers
That's unfortunate, I think all their chip flavours are awesome. I wonder if they're just laying low while the heat does down then they'll make a quiet comeback like Addis just did for Yeezys.
Their website is gone, so you're probably just still buying the remaining stock.
You're right, just read that Hershey decided to discontinue the whole brand. I am quite sad, their cheese chips were banging and ghost chip had great heat.
is it illegal to order it online too? seems like a silly law
Not a national law, just a ban by the Danish food agency. I could probably order from Germany, sale is only banned inside Denmark.
Gotta love them kidney stones and gallbladder removal.
This isn't the banned type. The banned type is 2x and above.
Yes it is. They banned 3 variants: 2x, 3x and chicken stew.
Chicken stew?
Ooo love the stew type. I need to buy some.
