This is a shame, a Sugar Shame.
Crap I just downed a bag of the cinnamon sugar one. It was awsome Listeria & all.
unbelievable no quality control on site? Bad popcorner bad... and NASTY...
Every day there seems to be a food recall over contamination. What country do we live in? Our food system is just plain NASTY!
Uh – nonsense. We're really, really good at detecting contamination even in tiny amounts and with only handfuls of people affected across an entire continent. Bacteria are everywhere – absolutely everywhere – and recalls indicate that the system is working as it should be. If there were no recalls, I'd be a lot more worried.
Wanna see a nasty food system – or rather, non-system? Visit just about any other country. One thing you might learn along the way: the lack of operating room sterility demanded by folks such as yourself is as ridiculous as it is pointless.
It's called the GOP and they believe in smaller government...even the FDA.
Not to worry, Pres. Romneywill get rid of the pesky recall notices.
FDA? We don't need no stinking FDA!
I agree with six. I lived in South America for two years and believe you me you do NOT want to know how unsafe the food and water is there. Additionally, when you consider how many millions of tons of food are shipped, packaged, produced, etc in this country in a day, the amount of food that is recalled is actually a really small percentage. The FDA and the USDA do a really good job of keeping our food supply safe. I'm not worried at all about this.
just had a bag myself....mmmmmm
The best part is that my mother's company just handed out a whole bunch of this stuff as a recognition/encouragement for hard work. We really "appreciate" you, we promise! Eat up! (They, of course sent out a memo to not eat it)
Popcorn as a reward or recognition for hard work ???? What country is your Mom's business in ?
It appears Listeria has gotten into every product imaginable this year. I handle food borne illness cases at my law firm and have been overwhelmed by the amount of products having issues in 2012.
I write a blog on food borne illness and prevention. If you are interested here is the link.

Safer food is achieved via more oversight, testing, and regulation. It costs money, but it is worth it. Some people feel the government over-regulates industries....I strongly disagree. Many problems have arisen due to under-regulation.
I ate the dark fudge chocolate chip drizzle then my pants filled with dark fudge drizzle.
I'm pregnant, and listeria is scary... so much for avoiding deli meat, seems like avoid every friggin thing.
Avoid everthing and you will die of starvation!
GMO, listeria, salmonella.

Farmer's market here I come.
.
You compared GMO to listeria and salmonella?
Uh – Listeria has been around for millions of years – it was one of the very first bacteria to be identified. And it lives in dirt. So your farmer's market will be brimming with it.
Eating popcorn is like eating styrofoam, I can't stand that squeaky sound when you eat it. The smell kills me also, popcorn is bad all around.
Why have you been eating styrofoam?
Try picking up some popcorn at Walmart...instead of eating those little while balls in packaging
(That was a good one though;-)

I love their Indiana Movie Theater popcorn....so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im eating popcorn right now!
dangit. I just bought a giant bag of the kettle corn too. i LOVE this stuff. Guess i will have to go back to making my own on the stove. Its just not as good!
I would eat contaminated the wasabi reserve flavor from the sweaty under-gut of a a black woman named Listeria. It's that good.

Wow. I have been eating this every day this week. I had a fever to 102 last night and vomiting/diarrhea. Down to 100 now. I almost never get headaches and have had a mild one all day...probably just from the fever and feeling lousy. I'm sure it was coincidence and probably a viral illness like gastro but doesn't make me feel any better.
What's all the Hysteria about Listeria? It's good to cleanse the colon once in a while. I have my porcelin Mobile Device and plenty of charmin.
IT'S A TRAP!!!!!
Holla back if you know about tumbling motility.
I stood there eating a bag of the Kettlecorn reading this article....
Packaged popcorn is gmo corn. Buy all corn products organic. As for the FDA. Michael Taylor is an ex-Vp of Monsanto. The fox guarding the hen house. Approved by Obama, while his wife (diversion) talks about nutrition.
Out of order comes chaos.
what a pity, i love that brand. particularly the aged white cheddar.
I have been sick for a month now. I first started with a fever and wanting to sleep. After getting up from sleeping I was still tired. I have a runny nose, cough, and itchy throat. Went to Dr. he said it was a virus, so I did not need medicine. My symptoms kind of went away for a week and now they are back with a vengeance. I have a runny nose with a stiff neck and my voice is coming and going. I went to doctor and he gave me meds. I wonder if its Listeria from the popcorn mentioned above? Does anyone know about the symptoms?
my abdominal pains are usually caused by bloating and indigestion, i better control my diet.;

Lower left abdominal pain is the most common area for abdominal pain. You will know how debilitating lower left abdominal pain can be – whether it is an acute episode or chronic condition. The effects of abdominal pain can be devastating not just for the person living with the problem, but also for their family, friends and carers. The simplest chores and activities from shopping to walking may become impossible. Constant physical pain can impact on an individual’s emotional well-being. People living with a chronic condition may become depressed, and in some cases driven to suicide to escape the pain!are totally unsuitable. They are too bulky, move out of position, compact and cause oreness.'
