This seems both hilarious and ridiculous to me. When I saw this, I assumed it was for an actual reason, but apparently they just really don’t like spice! Are we, /r/spicy, at war now?
They issued a recall for the noodles earlier today. If anyone else knows any details about what could have caused this, such as an actual incident in Denmark, I’d love to know.
The raid on Copenhagen must be fiery and fierce. Stuff your pockets with reapers men, we ride at dawn!
Nanny state at it again
If Mexico banned it then maybe I would try them.
Unintentionally amazing advertising for Buldak
Deeming it “poisonous” is such an exaggeration. Ban alcohol then as well since hangovers are such a “poisonous” experience too.
[edit] typos
Can confirm, went to Copenhagen and had some of the best food I’ve ever had. But my god are they trying to avoid spice
Uuhh… I’ve heard different opinions on this, but can capsaisin even be classified as poisonous in any sense?
Just white people things
Regarding the important matter of Buldak noodles, I put just a few drops and save the rest of the sauce for other recipes throughout the week. I also consider anyone that pours the full package of sauce on the noodles and eats the entire thing a masochist.
I see some illicit clandestine bootleg opportunity
They are hot, but this is just ridiculous
lol they can’t handle the spice
Danish ☕️
So what you’re telling me is that the Danish are governed by idiots?
So like… Are all hot sauces banned now too?
I supposed I understand. I mean, what can we expect from a nation where salt is already too spicy?
My son brought home norovirus after I had consumed the 3x noodles.
They came back out the same way they went in, needless to say I cannot eat them anymore sadly
The same reason why Dave’s Insanity Sauce among others are banned. It is classified as a “neurotoxin”
Of course it’s a European country banning spicy food lol
That’s fucking absurd!
People should be discouraged from eating them (instant noodles in general) because of the excessive sodium and artificial seasoning (which leads to a bunch of health problems), but banning them because of how spicy they are is stupid.

How spicy are the 2x. I’ve never tried any of the Vidal noodles.
Gotta try me some then
I used to love these noodles, then I had them a bit too much and now I don’t really like them.
Their distinctive flavour just doesn’t appeal to me anymore.
That’s why it makes you feel a lil drunk sometimes
As a Dane myself i find it absolutely heartbreaking since they’re some of my favourite ramen 🙁
I do have 4 of the 3x spicy and 3 of the 2x spicy laying around, but they’re not gonna last forever… Also you can purchase noodles just as hot as the 2x spicy here, but they’re not banned? So dumb.
Begin… The spice wars has… (Coming from a delighted Swede)
Chili Klaus must be plotting a coup.
That doesn’t sound correct.
A friend of mine bought some pure capsasian, so of course a bunch of drunk guys sat around taking turns eating it straight because it was funny.
Tastes absolutely horrible, and burns (obviously) but not exactly the same way as a hot pepper, but nobody got acute poisoning and you can’t have a higher concentration that 100%.
I could see someone having an anxiety attack if they didn’t know what they were eating but that’s not the same.
I get mine at world market in Carson city. Spicy!
how to advertise your country is weak
Is it something that people actually eat?
This is fun. Just found some at cost plus 55% off!
Wusses. How are they gonna handle Dave’s Insanity Sauce? If you want to conquer Denmark make an air drop of the one chip challenge. I guess Danes aren’t big fans of spicy food?
i gotta know, which member of denmark’s legislature had one of their kids hospitalized by snorting the dry seasoning to cause this?
Bullshit
Pansies
Is Denmark experiencing a freak milk shortage?
?wtf? I eat the x2 spicy, and I pour more of the x2 sauce from the bottle onto it. It’s not even that hot if you eat spicy food regularly.
Huh
I mean, this might happen if you eat the 3x spicy every day but you’d have to try super hard to do this intentionally
White people not beating the allegations lmaooo
Soft AF up in those parts. Salt is a spice there.
lol And I add hot sauce to it.

What are the actual capsaicin levels? No article has mentioned that, only that it is “high”.
But…why ? I mean sure, the level 3 is pretty hot and the taste can be a little artificial but it’s not even that spicy, a small amount of any of the upper Blair’s or Hellfire sauces would demolish this one in terms of spiciness.
