Summary

AMC Theatres Classic Butter Ready-to-Eat Popcorn scores 40/100. A short list with no seed oils: popcorn popped in coconut oil, salt and natural flavors. What pulls it down is the dressing: beta carotene and riboflavin are added only to color it buttery yellow, and the flavoring is undisclosed natural flavors. The bag says "artificially flavored" on the front although its ingredient list names only natural flavors.
