INSTANT NOODLE PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED IN THAILANDThe FDA received a copy of the European Union Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed that Lucky Me! instant noodles manufactured in Thailand are being recalled in Ireland, Malta, and France due to the presence of residual ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide is present in the environment. It comes from various sources, including plants and the heating of cooking oils. The human body also converts ethylene to ethylene oxide. A very important use of ethylene oxide in the medical field is the gas sterilization of surgical and medical equipment, including the sterilization of personal protective equipment . It is estimated that ethylene oxide sterilizes billions of medical devices each year to prevent the spread of disease and infection. There are procedures post-gas sterilization that are followed by manufacturers to prevent violative level of residual ethylene oxide.
Other nations, however, like the United States, Canada and Singapore, have assigned tolerance level for residual ethylene oxide ranging from 7 ppm to 50 ppm maximum residue limit . In the Philippines, ethylene oxide gas is allowed for gas sterilization of certain agricultural products. Such use is allowed in the PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD PNS/BAFS 149:2015; ICS 67.020, The Code of Hygienic Practice for Spices and Dried Aromatic Herbs.
