This is the best summary I could come up with:


Among the scores of regulars at the street-side venue in Muhsin, a low-income suburb of Lagos, is Remilekun Oguntoye, 23, who waits for her usual order: two packs of noodles with a fried egg and some fish.

“It is quite a popular meal, and people rush it a lot,” says Taiwo, who sells three boxes worth of the packet noodles to her customers on an average day.

A Nestlé India spokesperson said: “We believe that all our products can be part of a balanced diet that includes plenty of vegetables, fruits, pulses and whole grains.

Furthermore, Nestlé India voluntarily includes on its front of pack guideline daily amount (GDA) labelling that provides transparent nutrition information.”

Barry Popkin, a US-based nutrition professor who campaigns against ultra-processed foods, says the smell, from artificial additives, is part of the appeal and helps hook peopleon the noodles.

The shops stay open long past dinner time, and popular brands push their product with market pop-ups and kid cook-outs.

Each one of the packs has like 200% of your suggested daily salt intake….

Is that with or without the included seasoning packet? If I skip using the seasoning, is it still really salty?
