What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA popular brand of instant noodles has been pulled from shop shelves in a hurry, with food safety or supply worries behind it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip is at a supermarket in Asia.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing in aisle nine, where the noodle shelf is now just a strip of bare metal and one lonely price tag.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentStaff say the pull was urgent. A sweeping silence fills the aisle.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm joined by a shopper who came in for dinner. Sir, how are you holding up?
Wendell AxtmannBadly. I cook one thing. It was in that spot. Now I have a pan and a dream.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA dream.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, what's your plan tonight?
Wendell AxtmannI bought the seasoning packets from a different brand. I'll eat those. Dry.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip, the recall covers the noodles, not the seasoning.

Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSir, did you hear that?
Wendell AxtmannThe noodles were never the point.
