Taiwan bans Indomie due to harmful preservative: Is it safe to eat in S'pore?

A STOMPer was worried when he came across an online news report which announced the recall of Indomie noodles in Taiwan. He wonders if the brand of noodles is safe to consume in Singapore.

According to a newspaper report, Taiwanese authorities have banned Indomie mee goreng after finding para hydroxy benzoic acid, a preservative meant for cosmetics, in the noodles.

Said the STOMPer in his email:

"I came across this video report online, which announced that Indomie Mee Goreng Fried Noodles has recently been recalled in Taiwan.

"Apparently, the seasoning packets contain preservatives used in making cosmetics which is harmful to health.

"I wonder if the Singapore Health Authority will similarly be recalling this brand of instant noodles.

"In the meantime, I am going to avoid eating the noodles. Better be safe than sorry!"

The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) is carrying out investigations to ensure that Indomie noodles in Singapore are safe for consumption.

Over here in Canada, every Chinese store in every city, you can see people buying this Mee Gorengs by cartons.

I myself have been recommending strangers in the stores to try them.

No matter what, I will still eat the last remaining packages...."die-then-count".

May be it's the banned parahydroxy benzoic acid preservatives that make it so tasty. Of course the condiments contain extra salt and sugar.

I remember used to buy tasty otaks by the dozens from Tg Pinang until the AVA banned them for having too much benzoic acid.

How about Malaysia's SodoMee?

I don't get it? Why AVA need to do their own tests before banning the product?

Put them away from our shelves - What will happen if children eat them and maybe too late to rectify the problem "contain preservatives used in making cosmetics which is harmful to health"!

Go get real instant ramen noodles. Available at Cold Storage (Centrepoint & Takashimaya), Isetan Lido, Meidiya Liang Court and NTUC Bishan Junction 8. However, be prepared to pay about S$8 per pack of five packets. For the frozen version, about S$7 per pack of two servings. That's serious noodle and serious soup base. There're dry fried versions too. Famous localised brands like Chu Qian Yi Ding and Myojyo are also available, however in different quality and at different price of course.

 

[myo539]

How about Malaysia's SodoMee?

That one is even more dangerous - it's toxic.

Singaporeans : lifespan = 89.9 years ; Deathrate : 4.66 per 1000
Indonesia : lifespan = 70.7 years ; Deathrate : 6.25 per 1000

That explains, isn't it?

Latest news! Safe to eat Indomie again! Singapore's batch ok. May be Batam's one not ok. So skip the fried mee or Bakso mie when in Batam.

Indomie noodles in Singapore do not contain cosmetic preservative: AVA

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Agri Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) said tests carried out have shown that the "Indomie" instant noodles in Singapore don't contain the chemical preservative, Para-hydroxy Benzoates.

The preservative is not allowed in instant noodles under Singapore's Food Regulations.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, AVA said it conducts regular checks on instant noodles as part of the food safety surveillance programme.

Following reports of Para-hydroxy Benzoates in "Indomie" instant noodles in Taiwan, AVA took samples of the noodles for further investigation.
