Summary

This popcorn product features organic non-GMO popcorn and organic coconut oil, both of which are beneficial ingredients. However, the inclusion of organic butter-type flavor, a processed ingredient, slightly detracts from its overall quality. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the use of mostly clean ingredients.
