Noodles face strict scrutiny due to ‘health risk’

Noodles now make people wonder whether or not they should buy the product.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has announced the recall of Indomie noodles, vegetable flavor, due to the presence of undeclared allergens.
NAFDAC warned that the affected product contains milk and egg, allergens that could trigger serious or life-threatening reactions in people with allergies or intolerances.
In a statement titled “Public Alert No. 041/2025,” the agency said the recall followed a notification from the French food safety authority, Rappel Conso, which flagged the product for failing to declare the presence of milk and eggs on its labeling.
According to NAFDAC, the recall covers all batches of Indomie Noodles, Vegetable Flavor, with an expiration date of February 6, 2026.
“NAFDAC informs the public that the French authority (Rappel Conso de France) has issued an advisory regarding the recall of the Indomie Noodles Vegetal Flavor brand,” the agency announced.
They continued: “This recall is due to the presence of undeclared allergens, particularly milk and eggs, which may pose a significant health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances. »
Indomie noodles are widely consumed in different countries, due to their affordability, convenience and popularity as a household food, especially among children and young adults.
The regulatory agency noted that while the official risk of the product entering the country is considered low, acquisition through online purchases or international travel cannot be ruled out.
“NAFDAC has initiated vigilance actions to guard against possible entry of the brand into the country, as acquisition of the product through online purchase or international travel cannot be ruled out,” the statement said.
“Consumers should discard the product and not consume it. Report any suspected sale of the implicated flavor of Indomie noodles to the nearest NAFDAC office or call 0800-162-3322,” the agency concluded on Indomie noodles.
