TAIPEI: Two types of instant noodles made by Southeast Asian brands have been found to contain a cancer-inducing substance, Taipei's Department of Health said on Monday (April 24) as it released the results of the city's 2023 inspection of instant noodles available in Taipei, reported CNA.
In a statement, the department said it found that a batch of "Ah Lai White Curry Noodles" from Malaysia and a batch of "Indomie: Special Chicken Flavour" noodles from Indonesia both contained ethylene oxide, a chemical compound associated with lymphoma and leukaemia.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
