Whole-grain popcorn fried in refined corn oil with added color and 'natural butter flavor' — a simple, snackable indulgence, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Whole-grain popcorn base gives real fiber
• Cooked in refined corn oil, not a whole fat like real butter
• Beta-carotene added purely for color, not nutrition
• 'Natural butter flavor' stands in for actual butter
• Salt-and-oil snack — fine in moderation, not a staple
