According to the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), in 2023, 60.7% of the Indonesian population aged three years and older regularly consumed instant noodles/other instant foods such as instant porridge and the like between 1-6 times per week.

Then, 33.4% consumed them less than 3 times per month, while 5.9% consumed these foods more than once a day.

According to Professor Zullies Ikawati, a Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy, UGM, there is actually no definitive regulation regarding the safe limit for instant noodle consumption.

"There is actually no such rule, because noodles are essentially carbohydrates, just like rice. It's just that rice is from rice plants, while noodles are from wheat," said Prof. Zullies, as reported by *Detik.com* on Thursday (4/5/2023).

However, she urged hypertensive patients to reduce their consumption of instant noodle seasoning and replace it with their own homemade seasoning, as instant noodle seasoning tends to be high in sodium.

She also suggested that people add protein and fiber to instant noodles and not mix them with rice. This aims to balance the nutritional content of instant noodles.
