Among them, the sample with the most foreign matter (Nissin Foods produced the first Ding Tongxinbao-Seafood Abalone Soup Flavor). For every 225 g sample, 548 insect fragments were detected, which is 144% higher than the US action level. The situation has attracted public attention.

According to the Consumer Council, the main raw material of pasta is wheat, which is very likely to be mixed with foreign objects such as insects during planting and harvesting. The detected volume is very small, generally less than one millimeter, which can only be seen clearly under a microscope.

Although there is no research showing that the relevant substances are harmful to the human body, the public is advised to cook spaghetti at high temperature.

In addition, the test results show that manufacturers must strengthen quality control in all production links, must minimize the content of various foreign substances, and urge food manufacturers and importers to improve quickly and provide better quality dried pasta.
