Salted Microwave Popcorn
Microwave popcorn is a pre-packaged, convenient snack that consists of unpopped popcorn kernels coated with a flavored mixture of oil, salt, and other additives, all enclosed in a microwave-safe bag. Introduced in the 1980's, this popular snack has become a staple in many households due to its ease of preparation, requiring minimal effort and time from users.
To prepare microwave popcorn, simply place the unopened bag on the designated side in the microwave, set the timer as specified by the product's instructions, and wait for the kernels to heat up and pop. Within minutes, the user has an instant, warm, and flavorful snack to enjoy.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Microwave Popcorn expire?
Unopened microwave popcorn typically has a long shelf life due to its preservatives and special packaging. It can usually last about 1 to 2 years past its printed date when stored properly. Once an individual bag has been popped, it should ideally be consumed immediately for maximum freshness. However, if you must store popped popcorn, it can last 1 to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Freezing is not commonly done for this product.
How do you tell if Microwave Popcorn is bad?
When microwave popcorn goes bad, it becomes stale and loses its crunch. You'll notice that the kernels become tough instead of crisp. Additionally, if the popcorn begins to smell off or strange, it may have gone bad. A visual indicator would be discoloration of the popcorn kernels or bag, but this doesn't happen often.
Tips for storing Microwave Popcorn to extend shelf life
• Always store unpopped microwave popcorn in a cool, dry place.
• Do not store the popcorn in direct sunlight or near sources of heat.
• Once a bag of popcorn has been popped, store any leftovers in an airtight container immediately to maintain freshness.
• Avoid refrigerating popped popcorn as the moisture can make it soggy.
