Even if you are a big fan of instant noodles, you have no need to worry about that. Dutch and Asian supermarkets have almost everything - I found the exact same type of my favorite Vietnamese instant noodles here. You might bring 2-3 packages in case of emergency, but it should not be more than that.

Bringing instant noodles into the Netherlands from a non-EU country in 2026 is generally permitted, provided they do not contain meat or high concentrations of dairy. EU customs regulations are very strict regarding "products of animal origin" (POAO) to prevent the spread of diseases like foot-and-mouth. Most standard instant noodles use synthetic flavorings or small amounts of dried seafood (which is usually exempt up to 20kg), but if your noodles contain "real beef chunks" or a liquid meat-based stock, they may be confiscated at Schiphol Airport. It is always safest to check the ingredients list on the packaging; if it mentions "extract of meat" or "dried meat," it is technically a risk. However, for the average traveler with a few packs of "chicken-flavored" noodles (which are often vegan/vegetarian in composition), you will likely pass through customs without any issues.
