Nigeria’s food and drug regulator is investigating the popular Indomie brand of instant noodles following recalls in Malaysia and Taiwan where health authorities say they detected a potentially cancer-causing substance. The Nigerian regulator said Indomie is produced by a local manufacturer and that the special chicken flavor noodles is not available for sale in the country. Indonesia’s food and drug monitoring agency also said the products available locally were “safe for consumption as it met its safety standards” despite containing traces of ethylene oxide. Indonesia is one of the largest instant noodle markets in the world and Indomie is the “market leader in the noodles industry in Nigeria,” according to the Indofoods, which owns the brand. Indomie first launched instant noodles in 1972 with a chicken flavor but is now produced in many varieties.
