Nissin and Myojo, two giant Japanese noodle manufacturers, are recalling some of their noodle products after insecticide was found in some of the packaging. First, Nissin recalled nearly half a million packages of Cup Noodles after a woman got sick from eating insecticide-laced noodles.
Now, Myojo states that it has found traces of the substance in its own packages, and is warning customers accordingly; no word as of this posting of a recall.
First, Nissin - which invented the instant noodle - recalled 500,000 pots after a woman became ill. She had eaten from a cup containing insect repellent.
Now another Japanese food giant, Myojo, says it too has found the same substance in two of its own pots.
The incidents are the latest in a series of scares that have shaken the confidence of Japanese consumers.
