Korean made Nong-Shim noodles found to contain Carcinogen
 

Arirang News
For those that don't know what Benzopyrene is, it's that black shit that you see when you burn food. If consumed in large quantity / overtime it can raise the chances of acquiring cancer.

Will probably throw away most of my korean noodle stash :okay:

i hate nong shim noodles
all about this for me

Wondering if this is just an "off batch" or do all batches contain benzopyrene just at "safe levels"

ah thanks for finding an article


my aunt told me about it yesterday but when i googled all i could find were reports from 2011 that sparked investigations

(she saw the BLACK brand on the news)

so.. I have a huge stash of this shit.. How are we supposed to know if it was part of the recall...? Literally have a box of the regular, black and a couple of the neoguri ones.. :pokerface:

good god.. I had 2 bowls/day and finished my stash of 10 boxes (Costco sale) last week... Im gona die!

If you got them from T&T idk if you should worry about them. Heard on the radio today they contacted one of the guys at T&T and the neoguri's are made in USA. Not really sure though...I've got some of the SamYang ones which aren't Nong Shim, but other instant noodles made in Korea may have higher than normal levels of benopyrene so i'm just probably going to chuck them away.

PS it's not the noodles that has the benopyrene, just the flavour packs. But if a factory had excess levels of benopyrene; i wouldn't trust em with any type of food :concentrate:

that's not true if you look at the "Made In" on their nongshim noodles some of them are Made in Korea particularly the cup ones


but why risk it anyways? who's to say their US plant doesn't use the same chemicals? after all this took 1 year for them to "investigate" and say "yes there is benzopyrene"

Wrong. You're going to develop cancer then eventually die. :troll:

i think it all depends how much they are talking about...

piece of shit article doesn't include what they consider "inappropriate"

MSG itself found in all instant noodles are to be considered carcinogenic but takes shit tons and years and years of eating it to have a high risk

i kinda Always assumed shit like this will cause cancer. honestly if ur eating shit like that r u expecting it to not be unhealthy and fucked up in some way? im not being preachy here as i eat shit like this too. im just saying - most things we do nowdays will cause cancer and they just hvent investigated it yet

^^ yes that's true anything with chemical preservatives is :heckno:

but when something bad is said to be too bad then fuck that

I thought ALL instant noodle carry the risk of cancer. But I guess with this Nong Shim you will get cancer faster.

cancer or no cancer, people shouldnt be eating this shit anyways, empty carbs plus toooons of sodium

Neoguri is good :)

Chapaghetti ftw yo

this news is going to create panic in the asian community...

that... or :fuckthatshit:

made in korea... kdm food...

Indomie time.

breathing the air these days "may cause cancer". Seriously, what doesn't "cause" cancer these days. I would avoid all instant noodles because it's crap food, period. Not just because this one particular brand MAY cause cancer.

Indo noodles are safe! Mi goreng so good.

Shit, I love Nongshim, especially the blue top bowls with an egg.

Don't care. Inventor of instant noodles is 96
