We have heard of many food products being recalled especially those being produced / manufactured in China. Their QA/QC methods could be totally skipped or neglected. Long and tough road ahed for the Chinese producers / manufacturers to regain the customers' confidence and trust.When you talk about QA/QC, the Japanese seems to be excellent in this area as their electrical goods / products are being exported worldwide. But the food aspect has its doubt now.
I'm sure many people have tried the Japanese noodles where it could be bought in almost any convenience store or supermarket. One of the famous brands is the Nissin Cup Noodles. It has been made known that Nissin Food Products Co Ltd ("Nissin Food") has recalled their 500,000 Nissin Cup Noodles in wake of detecting paradichlorobenzene, a key chemical in bug repellent.
Apparently this batch of Cup Noodles has not been exported and all of the products were being sold in Tokyo and neighbouring areas. Has Nissin Food's extensive Food Safety Research Institute has somehow failed to detect this insecticide chemical found in the Cup Noodles?
A similar food producer / manufacturer by the name of Myojo Foods Co Ltd was implicated with the food scare as well. The same kind of chemical has been detected in their products. It was noted that this company has been bought over by Nissin Food in 2007.

nowadays everything seem unsafe... my frenz asking me about the plastic thingy also... haihz...
I also thought Japanese had very stringent quality in their food industry? Anyway, I don't eat all these noodles in a cup. They are unhealthy, but I guess eating once in a while should not pose any problems, whether there's contamination or not.
Oh lucky that I have not eaten this noodle before. I have seen it in many places but have yet to try. procrastination saved me!
Lucky i only like Japanese sushi & girls...
This was my favourite noodle when I was studying in the States cuz it's bloody cheap. Sedap oh!
About 10 years ago, the Snow brand milk was also recalled due to some chemical in the infant formula.
goes to show that it's only human to be greedy and maximise on your profit at the expense of other.
The recent news is saying that eggs from China also found to be contaminated! Gosh!...
