NAFDAC To Test Indomie Noodles, Says Importation Already Banned

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it will investigate allegations of a cancer-causing chemical found in Indomie noodles.

Health officials in Malaysia and Taiwan said they had detected ethylene oxide, a compound, in Indomie’s special chicken flavour noodles.

 

Ethylene oxide is a colourless, odourless gas that is used to sterilise medical equipment and plastics. It is said to be a cancer-causing chemical.

Malaysia and Taiwan have since recalled the Indomie special chicken flavour from shelves.

In reaction, Indofood, makers of Indomie noodles, said the product was safe for consumption.

Taufik Wiraatmadja, a member of the board of directors at Indofoods, said the noodles received standard certifications and were produced in compliance with international food safety regulations.
