The food authorities said the instant ramen contained such high capsaicin levels consumers could be poisoned.

Denmark has recalled several spicy ramen noodle products by South Korean company Samyang, claiming that the capsaicin levels in them could poison consumers.

Denmark's food agency issued the recall and warning on Tuesday, urging consumers to abandon the product."We understand that the Danish food authority recalled the products, not because of a problem in their quality but because they were too spicy," the firm said in a statement to the BBC. "If you have the products, you should discard them or return them to the store where they were purchased," it said in a statement.The notice has sparked heated discussion online with many amused reactions from lovers of spicy food. Many have made assertions about the Danes' low tolerance for spice.

Samyang said it planned to "closely look into the local regulations" in Denmark and respond after that.
