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Three fiery flavours of the Samyang instant ramen line are being withdrawn: Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew.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

    I was inspired to eat one now (different flavor so probably not as spicy). The spice is fine but the noodles are gross. I think I’m just going to use the flavor packets with Top or Maruchan ramen.

      Frozen tteokbokki takes slightly longer to make, but is worth a few extra minutes.

      I like the Ktown Mad Spicy as a pretty consistent go-to. You can make your own and go even hotter, but of course less convenient than frozen.

        +1 for Ktown Mad Spicy.

        However I must point out they are not rice cakes, but wheat cakes. Also, tteokbokki benefits a lot from having some cabbage and onion mixed into it… delicious!
