Noodles are now making people doubt whether they should buy the product or not.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has announced the recall of Indomie Noodles, Vegetable Flavor due to the presence of undeclared allergens.
NAFDAC warned that the affected product contains milk and eggs, allergens that can cause serious and potentially life-threatening reactions in people with allergies or intolerances.
In a statement titled “Public Alert No. 041/2025,” the agency said the recall followed a notice from the French food safety authority, Rappel Conso, which flagged the product for not declaring the presence of milk and eggs on the label.
According to NAFDAC, the recall affects all lots of Indomie Noodles, Plant-Based Flavor, with an expiration date of February 6, 2026.
“NAFDAC informs the public that the French authority (Rappel Conso of France) has issued a notice regarding the recall of Indomie brand Noodles Vegetable Flavor,” the agency announced.
They continued: “This recall is due to the presence of undeclared allergens, particularly milk and eggs, which may pose a significant health risk to consumers with allergies or intolerances.”
Indomie noodles are widely consumed in several countries due to their affordability, convenience and popularity as a household food item, especially among children and young adults.
The regulator noted that while the official risk of the product entering the country is considered low, acquisition through online purchases or international travel cannot be ruled out.
“NAFDAC has initiated vigilance measures to guard against possible entry of the brand into the country as acquisition of the product through online purchases or international travel cannot be ruled out,” the company said.
“Consumers should discard the product and not consume it. Report any suspected sale of the affected flavor of Indomie noodles to the nearest NAFDAC office or call 0800-162-3322,” the agency concluded on Indomie noodles.
