Two years ago, it was discovered that a chemical flavourant in microwave popcorn was causing a rare and potentially fatal lung disease in factory workers producing this product. This ingredient was then removed and replaced with another ingredient which, unfortunately, seems to have the same debilitating effect. Instead of waiting for the food manufacturers to come up with safer ingredients, you are better off just popping popcorn the old fashioned away or purchasing a relatively inexpensive popcorn popper. It may be less convenient, but definitely safer and healthier.
