Can you handle the heat? The people of Denmark are about to find out. A Korean ramen noodle range that faced a recall for being too spicy is now tentatively being introduced to the Nordic country.

The noodles in question are the chilli-filled Buldak Range, a fan favourite from the Samyang food company, which has been serving a spicy fix since 1961 to chilli-fiends around the globe. Despite there being no issue with the food quality, the Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken, 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Stew instant noodles were deemed unsafe for the Danes.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration issued a product recall back in June, saying the organisation “assesses that the levels of total capsaicin in a single pack of all three noodle products are so high that they pose a risk of the consumer developing acute poisoning.”

If you’ve never watched a food challenge before, capsaicin is an active component of chillies that gives them their trademark ‘spiciness.’ It is an irritant and neurotoxin for mammals and produces a burning sensation in any tissue with which it comes into contact.

A statement from the Danish food authority confirms that the 3x Spicy Hot Chicken will not be allowed back on shelves, but the 2x Spicy Hot Chicken and Hot Chicken Ramen Stew are back on the menu. If you dare.

Danish cuisine is historically lacking in heat, due to both geography and climate, so considering these spicy noodles as a potential poison isn’t the biggest stretch of the imagination. However, even chilli enthusiasts know that the Buldak ramen is no joke.

A Reddit post in r/KoreanFood said of their experience, “I once tried the 2x spicy package and put in the entire spice sauce, it was so [hot] that I thought I needed to go to the hospital to get my stomach pumped.”

Another simply said of the spicy snack, “F****** good, but at what cost?” We’re stocking up on Gaviscon just thinking about it.

Even an expert over on r/Spicy recalled their traumatic Buldak experience. “While eating it, my heart was racing like crazy, mouth numbed for the entire time. My stomach felt so bad afterwards and I literally had to go to the washroom every 10 minutes.”

While rare, capsaicin poisoning is possible. Consumption of extremely spicy foods has been known to damage the stomach lining, cause temporary blindness, induce vomiting and cause swelling of the throat and airways.
