About CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT GOURMET POPCORN, CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT
Meijer Chocolate Peppermint Gourmet Popcorn is a flavored popcorn confection sold under the Meijer private-label brand by Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product is positioned within the popcorn and snack category and combines a sweet chocolate-cocoa coating with peppermint flavor notes.
The dominant ingredients by weight are sugar and corn syrup, which form the candy coating matrix. The pre-popped popcorn base is listed as containing coconut oil, beta carotene for color, salt, artificial flavor, and FD&C Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 lake colorants — the presence of these yellow colorants in popcorn intended to be visually associated with peppermint is a formulation detail worth noting. Water is included in the coating process. Cocoa powder processed with alkali provides the chocolate flavor layer. Coconut oil and corn oil are additional fat sources. Soy lecithin and sunflower lecithin both function as emulsifiers. Natural and artificial flavors produce the peppermint character.
Nutritionally, this product provides 333 calories per 100 grams, with carbohydrates at 63.3 grams per 100 grams as the primary macronutrient due to the sugar-heavy candy coating. Fat is 8.3 grams per 100 grams, protein 3.3 grams, and fiber 3.3 grams per 100 grams from the corn hulls. The serving size is 30 grams. Calorie density is moderate-to-high for a snack food.
This product contains soy (lecithin) and artificial colors and flavors. It does not list dairy, wheat, peanuts, eggs, or tree nuts as ingredients, which may make it suitable for some restricted diets, though cross-contact in manufacturing cannot be confirmed from ingredient data alone. The product is likely vegan if soy lecithin is accepted, as no animal-derived ingredients appear in the formulation.
