FOXNews.com - Popcorn Maker to Remove Butter Flavoring Chemical Linked to Lung Ailment - Business And Money Business News Financial News:

"NEBRASKA — The nation's largest microwave popcorn maker, ConAgra Foods
Inc.(CAG), says it will change the recipe for its Orville Redenbacher and Act II
brands over the next year to remove a flavoring chemical linked to a lung
ailment in popcorn plant workers. The decision comes a day after a doctor at a
leading lung research hospital said in a warning letter to federal regulators
that consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from
buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn."


Don't want their consumers to get lung diseases before they get heart disease. This is something that consumers should be aware of, another source claims contact with the fumes from cooking the popcorn can also be dangerous.
