January 20, 2010 - Well Luck Co., Inc., a Jersey City, N.J., establishment, is recalling approximately 50,000 pounds of instant noodle products that were ineligible for import to the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

Well Luck Co., Inc., is recalling the instant noodle products because they do not meet product inspection or exemption requirements for poultry, beef, and pork. The foreign inspection system of the country where the beef, poultry, and pork ingredients originated, China, has not been deemed to be equivalent as required by federal regulations.

gasp! there was foul play in joisey?

lol, unless you are severely lacking in salt, you shouldn't eat those things anyway. have you ever looked at their nutritional info.? each bowl contains 52%of your r.d.a. for sodium. and there's 2 servings per bowl! do the math.
 
Yeah, I toss the spice packet and make my own lower salt seasonings.
 
Yeah, but I love them anyway. On a cold foul-weather day, nothing beats a big steaming bowl of ramen, thoroughly doctored up with fresh veggies (bok choy, bean sprouts, snow peas, broccoli florets, sometimes some cubed tofu if I have it on hand, etc.) & some additional flavor (chili-garlic paste/sauce, black bean paste/sauce, etc.).

BUT - just like with everything else, MODERATION is the key. I don't enjoy this every day, or even every week for that matter.
 
I'm a sucker for Ramen noodles. I like the Maruchan Chicken flavored. I just checked a pack and it has 33% of the RDA for sodium per serving.....and as BT say, there are two servings per pack. So 66% of my sodium in one pack......not that great, but I still love 'em! :biggrin:
