Chemical threats seem to come from all angles in the kitchen these days.? From BPA to non-stick cookware consumers need to be wary of what they are bringing into their homes and putting into their mouths. It appears a new toxin may come from a couch potato classic ? microwave popcorn!
The United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has suggested that Diacetyl, an artificial butter flavoring that is used in many consumer foods, may be hazardous when heated and inhaled over a long period.? Diacetyl has been deemed an irritant to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, while also being suspected of causing bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare and serious disease of the lungs, only curable through a lung transplant.?
In an effort to increase consumer safety and heighten consumer-awareness, Popcorn, Indiana, an innovator among the snacking industry, is offering a healthier and safer option for at-home snacking with the introduction of Warm Your Corn? Diacetyl-free, ready-to-eat popcorn in a microwave safe bag.?? Warm Your Corn is the first pre-popped bag that can actually be heated up in the courtesy of your own home.
