Half of the products in a recent rating of the world's ten worst instant noodles are from China, reports state-run news agency Xinhua.

The worst on the list is a chicken flavor instant noodle from Baijia Single Noble, according to the report. It is criticized for its oily soup, excessively soft noodles, and terrible tasting vegetables. Regarding the criticism, a spokesperson for Baijia Single Noble said that they disagree with the listing and stand by the product. Meanwhile, another of the instant noodle brands said that foreigners are not accustomed to Chinese tastes and people should not devalue products that are unfamiliar to them.

The list of the world's worst noodles was released by Hans Lienesch, a well-known instant noodle reviewer from the US. Three of the products on the list come from a manufacturer in southwestern China's Sichuan province, with another three products also from China and two from Taiwan.

Any food with the word 'instant' in it is bad, no matter where it comes from.

Never buy Made-In-China food products unless there is no choice.
Soon to be added to the list is Made-In-Taiwan unless they buck up on food standard.
