Great. Now we're going to face another wide spread paranoia about instant noodles.
Since they're just doing it as a safety measure and didn't try to put paradichlorobenzene(I know how to draw that from looking at the name now ), I'm not so worried. Especially since they decided to recall it too, so keep consumer confidence in their product high. That's actually a good move. Money is little sacrifice to show consumers your company's integrity and standards.

In fact, that's precisely what's killing China's products now. Not just how many times contaminates have been discovered, but how they knowingly did it. Standards is one thing, but integrity is another. Without the latter, the former means nothing.

It's unfortunate, but stuff like this happening so many times has pushed that image from the individual companies to the Chinese manufacturing industry in general.
