I remember those college days when various brands of ramen noodles were a dietary mainstay. Offering quick and easy meal preparation, many kids these days still eat these by the case. At 10 for $1 at many stores, the penniless student can easily afford these mass quantities of food.

Well, Nissin Foods, a large maker of these types of noodle packages, has issued a voluntary recall of selected shrimp-flavored noodle products. Have shrimp-flavored ramen noddles around? Read on.

The shrimp flavoring used in these products was found to contain cod and lobster, which could trigger certain allergic reactions if consumed by those with allergies to certain types of seafood. Read the whole story here and then go check your cupboards.

The other day, Jon worked late, so when he got home and found that I had already eaten, he quickly started preparing his favourite standby meal -- two packages of Instant ramen noodles with extra hot sauce. We always have instant noodles in our house, though I haven't eaten them since High School, when they were a staple of my diet. 'Do you think these are bad for me?' he asked? Yes, I replied. He wanted to know why and I started rattling off words like MSG and empty calories. Then I had a look at the back of the package and even though I know they're bad for you, I was a bit shocked.
