Statement from the Korean Embassy in the Philippines regarding the 6 Nong Shim noodles that were recalled by the Philippine government:
The
Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) requested Nong Shim Co. Ltd. to
recall the six noodle brands immediately after the former learned of the news
that benzopyrene was detected recently.
But the KFDA conducted the test and
issued a certificate dated November 7, 2012 that the level of benzopyrene found
in the noodle powder, which ranges from 0.4 to 1.6 ppb, was extremely low and
has no harmful effect on the human body.
