Savor the insecticide in your Nissin’s Cup Noodles!
Oktubre 25, 2008
Totoo! Japan’s Nissin company said it was recalling half a million (!!!) cups of instant noodles over fears of insecticide contamination in the latest food safety scare to rock the country’s consumers as a 67 year-old woman vomited and felt numbness on her tongue after eating Nissin’s Cup Noodle in Fujisawa, Tokyo.
Japan’s health office had discovered paradichlorobenzene in the cup noodle, a key chemical in bug repellent, but no puncture or other abnormality in the cup.
Nissin was voluntarily recalling around 500,000 cups made on the same factory line the same day, a company spokesman said. The products were at supermarkets in Tokyo and neighbouring areas with most of them already gone from store shelves according to a company spokesman.
However, the company denied possible contamination at the factory, saying it had never used or stored the insecticide and had seven security cameras watching manufacturing lines.
Another company, Myojo Foods Co., also from Tokyo, was examined as well and found their instant noodles laced with paradichlorobenzene and naphthol, also used as bug repellent.
Yikes! Paborito ko pa naman ang mga local products nila dito like Nissin Yakisoba (Spicy Chicken), at ang malupit nito… kakakain ko lang ng isang pack kaninang lunch at plano ko pa sanang kumain ng isa pa ngayong merienda! Good luck na lang sa akin…
bought nissin yakisoba last august. spitted it out once i tasted it. lasang kemikal na parang plastic. sobrang di matanggal yung lasa. i vomitted.
paborito ko pa naman. di naman ako nagpadala don. after one week, nagluto ulet ako. inamoy ko muna bago tikman. hayun, ganun nanaman ang amoy. tinapon ko.
yung isa hindi naman. pero yung isa pa, ganun nanaman.
ayun, wala lang. share ko lang.
