Increase the frequency of checking instant noodles imported into the EU (01/21/2022)
The Vietnam Trade Office in Sweden, concurrently taking charge of the Nordic region, informed that from January 6, 2022, Vietnam's instant noodles have been added to the checklist by the EU next to dragon fruit. The EU also increased the inspection frequency to 20% for both instant noodles and dragon fruit from Vietnam.

Vietnamese instant noodles are exported quite a lot to Denmark and Sweden. According to the International Trade Agency, the value of importing instant noodles from Denmark and Sweden from Vietnam in 2020 is 494 thousand USD and 1.41 million USD respectively, therefore, this increase in inspection will affect the export activities of enterprises to some extent.

Vietnamese instant noodles are tested for problems related to ethylene oxide in the product. Therefore, enterprises that export Vietnamese instant noodles to Northern Europe in particular and Europe in general need to pay attention to ensure that they comply with the EU's regulations on residue levels.
