I’ll bet USD$20 that someone in the Danish health ministry embarrassed themselves eating this stuff and is covering their ass by demanding a recall.

No one seems to bother looking up the origin of this. Fødevarestyrelsen:

However, the capsaicin content is so high that it can pose a health hazard. In Germany, several children have been hospitalized with poisoning after being challenged to eat strong chili chips.

-The quantity of hot chili is even higher in the investigated noodles than in chili chips, which have previously led to poisoning injuries among children in Germany. That is why it is important that parents are aware of the extreme noodle varieties and avoid them, says Henrik Dammand Nielsen.

I grow Carolina Reaper among other chilis and I like really really strong food. However, just because I like eating something doesn't mean it's not dangerous or that kids should eat it.

We have these in Sweden as well. They're not insanity levels of hot, but they are hot for something you can buy at regular store.
