About BUTTER MICROWAVE POPCORN, BUTTER
Market Pantry Butter Microwave Popcorn is a shelf-stable microwave popcorn product from Target's value-tier Market Pantry brand, and this USDA entry is notable for listing partially hydrogenated soybean oil among its ingredients — a source of artificial trans fat. Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) were the subject of a 2015 FDA ruling that revoked their Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status, with a compliance deadline that effectively ended their legal use in new food products by 2020. The presence of PHOs in this USDA entry strongly suggests this record reflects a legacy formulation predating the FDA transition and may no longer represent the current commercially available product. Consumers should verify the ingredient list on current retail packaging before assuming trans fat is present.
The product delivers approximately 350 calories per serving, with the energy density driven by the fat content of the oil component and the carbohydrate content of the popcorn. Microwave popcorn products in this category are typically flavored with butter-type flavoring, salt, and oil without significant additional ingredients. Soy allergens may be present through the soybean oil component. The product is otherwise free of wheat, milk, egg, peanut, tree nut, shellfish, and sesame allergens in most microwave popcorn formulations. Artificial butter flavor may be used in place of or alongside real butter in the oil coating. This entry should be compared with companion Market Pantry Butter Microwave Popcorn entries (USDA IDs 1923164 and 1922353) that reflect updated formulations using palm oil or other non-hydrogenated fats.
