Indofood Insists Noodles Safe After Taiwan Ban

The Jakarta Globe, 12/10 - Senior executives from Indofood, the world’s biggest maker of instant noodles, on Monday speculated that unfair trade practices or illegal imports were to blame for their products being pulled off shelves in Taiwan on Friday, as two chains in Hong Kong followed suit on Monday.

“Taiwan wants to protect its market from Indomie, which is cheaper than any other noodles,” Fransiscus said.
Kustantinah, head of Indonesia’s National Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), on Monday said the noodles were safe. “There’s no need to panic. All instant noodles that have been registered [with us] are safe,” she said.
