What the label tells us
Mì Samyang Buldak vị gà cay sốt rosé — rosé hot chicken ramen. Yenzo rates it “Moderate”: fine in moderation. The main reasons are high saturated fat (6 g per 100 g) and high salt (2 g per 100 g). A 140 g pack holds about 2.9 g of salt — 57% of the 5 g a day the WHO recommends adults stay below. It is also ultra-processed (NOVA 4), going by how Yenzo classifies its ingredients. Energy: 407 kcal per 100 g.
Open Food Facts lists 10 additives with a code number — antioxidant: tocopherol-rich extract (306); colours: riboflavins (101) and paprika extract, capsanthin, capsorubin (160c); lecithins (322(i)), potassium carbonates (501(i)), sodium carbonates (500(i)), sodium phosphates (339(ii)), guar gum (412), citric acid (330) and acetylated starch (1420). None of them is at “moderate” or “high” risk on the Yenzo Scale. Vietnamese labels often print an additive as its function plus its number, for example “chất chống oxy hóa (306)”.
Of the 10 instant noodles in the Yenzo catalogue, 4 others are also rated “Moderate”, and none is rated higher. Some products of the same kind list less saturated fat per 100 g: compare labels before you buy. See all instant noodles
