Fake spicy chicken noodles from all over the world...Professor Seo Kyung-duk's company is serious
Mar 25, 2025
Fake spicy chicken noodles of Samyang Foods, which are very popular at home and abroad, are controversial as fake products are sold around the world.
Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, `I recently found out because many Internet users living abroad reported, and there were already a lot of feeds on social media that read "Watch out for fake."
It is difficult for foreign consumers to distinguish the authenticity because the character and font of the spicy stir-fried noodles package are similar, and 'KOREA mark' and 'Halal mark' are also attached.
In particular, instead of the Samyang Food Mark, the company name 'BINGOONE' is included, and on the back, 'MADE IN P.R.C.' is written.
'P.R.C.' is an abbreviation of 'People's Republic of China' which means the official name of China's People's Republic of China'.
In 2021, major food companies such as Samyang Foods, CJ Cheil Jedang, Ottogi, and Daesang formed a joint consultative body to eradicate fake K-food products and filed lawsuits against Chinese companies for infringement of intellectual property rights.
However, the amount of compensation determined by the Chinese court was far less than the actual amount of damage to each company, which was controversial.
Professor Seo said, `Now, the Korean government should also take active measures to help Korean companies protect their intellectual property rights abroad,' emphasizing, `If such fake food is rampant around the world, it could have a negative impact on the image of 'K food.'
He added that `Chinese companies that sell fake products worldwide should stop now.'
