The Danish Food and Drug Administration has ordered the destruction of Buldak Samyang 3 x Spicy & Hot Chicken, Buldak Samyang 2 x Spicy & Hot Chicken and Buldak Samyang Hot Chicken Stew for having an overly high dose of capsaicin.

They’re too hot to handle, apparently Danish food, it’s safe to say, isn’t known for its spice. Think ‘open-faced’ sandwiches, pastries and, of course, meatballs. So it might not take too many off guard that Denmark’s food safety agency has ordered a recall of three types of Buldak Spicy Noodles manufactured by Samyang Food on Tuesday.

Under the Scoville scale, which measures the level of spiciness, the original package is 8,706 Scoville units – a jalapeño is about half of that. Buldak Samyang 2x Spicy & Hot Chicken has a Scoville rating of 10,000, while Buldak Samyang 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken has a blistering rating of 13,000, according to The Ramen Rater. Samyang Foods told The Korea Times that the company was not initially aware of Denmark’s product recall.
