Nissin Foods expands instant noodle business in China - AJW by The Asahi Shimbun

Add that to the list of things to never eat. (For me.)

Never will know if it is safe or not.

Japanese noodles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are some I like. From Korea and Japan. Nissin lost my vote.

Nong Shim. Who knows?

I probably eat a pack or less per month.

Irony of China, pulling food made in Korea for having cancer causing materials...

I usually buy the Japanese noodle that is popular in the USA - Maruchan. Apparently, there are plants in the USA that produce the noodle. Maruchan Ramen Noodles | Maruchan Instant Lunch | Ramen recipes - Japanese ramen noodles

A few months ago, they were banning milk imports from New Zealand.

Luckily we have a Chinese noddle factory here where I live that makes fresh noddles for many restuarants here in NorCal. You can walk right in a buy as many pounds of fresh made that day noodles, many different types. Been in business since the early 1900's.

In Hawai'i, many supermarkets have a whole section for dried noodles, including Nissin, which invented the "instant noodles" category, all the way up to shelf-stable premium soft noodles, as individual packs and as full cases.

By far the best, however are the fresh noodles we call Saimin, that are a cross between Japanese and Chinese ramen soup noodles. They can usually be found in a cooler near the produce section. A bowl of saimin, like a bowl of ramen, or a bowl of Pho, is a whole meal, with a rich stock, and assorted bite sized bits of meat, vegetables, egg, fish.

If I have a hankering for noodles, and don't have saimin on hand, I'll reach for the Nissin instant noodles I always have in the pantry. I may not use the soup base, because I usually have fresh stock available, but the noodles are consistent and heat up quickly, so they're a handy staple in my house.

And given Nissin's consistent quality over the years, I'm not going to worry about whatever they do in China.

Now that is funny, China banning milk imports from a country that has far, far better oversight and regulation of its food industry than they do. People in China really don't trust the food industry in their own country (as I see from my wife's family and friends who live there), so for many items that are in question they buy as much as they can from foreign more developed countries (Japan, U.S., European countries, etc.) So they would probably get a good laugh out of the Chinese authorities thinking they need to ban milk from New Zealand!

Most complaints of food safety/quality have at their core, a certain element of protectionism.

There's a Nissin plant near where I live. Don't have to worry about Nissin noodles made in China plus the management is Japanese

My thoughts exactly, lol. Hopefully they're getting tougher on ALL products.

I sometimes get Nong-shim, maybe I might not anymore...
