People often go for ramen noodles for a quick, comforting and filling snack. Whether you’re living alone or rushing to get ready for work, a 10-minute bowl feels like an ultimate solution. For many, it’s a go-to snack.
But now, a recent video is going viral on social media that has left people completely stunned and made them take a second look at their favourite instant meal. An Instagram user shared a video showing a warning label that was printed on the back of a ramen noodle packet that read, “Warning: Cancer and Reproductive Harm”. He expressed shock after knowing instant ramen noodles come with this warning.
As soon as he posted the video, it left viewers shocked and full of questions.
A person commented, “A lot of times, the packaging itself is toxic. The heat printed wrappers leach chemicals into your skin at levels above the minimum decided safe exposure amount. That requires them to apply the cancer/hormone disruptor warning.”
Another wrote, “Eating spicy too much every day can increase the risk of cancer. Once in 3-4 months is enough.”
“Nearly everything we eat can do damage if we eat it too much, but every now and then shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve had it a few times, maybe 6 times a year. I would eat it more, but it’s too spicy,” commented another.
Nutrition expert Cara Harbstreet said, “Packaged instant noodles, including most ramen varieties, rely heavily on sodium for flavour.” According to the Food and Drug Administration, “The flavour packets that come with packaged ramen are often very high in sodium (up to 90% of the Daily Value).”
The United States Department of Agriculture states that an 81-gram packet of ramen noodles has 14 grams of total fat and 6.58 grams of total saturated fat, or about 33% of the daily recommended amount.
Ramen noodles contain a lot of MSG, which is believed to cause severe health problems such as chronic headaches, nausea, weakness, muscle tightness, and chest pain.
