Manufacturer of noodles recalled in Taipei gets product lab tested

BUKIT MERTAJAM: An instant noodle manufacturer here has sent its Ah Lai White Curry Noodles for tests following allegations that the product contains a cancer-inducing substance.

A company spokesperson said they had sent samples for a laboratory test after Taipei’s Depart-ment of Health released results claiming that a batch of the instant noodles and a batch of Indomie: Special Chicken Flavour noodles from Indonesia contained ethylene oxide, a chemical compound associated with lymphoma and leukaemia.
