Recently we had someone post that teflon was used in the bags of microwave popcorn and a lot of us decided we would not use it anymore due to the risk to our greys but I am happy to report that ConAgra Foods microwave popcorn is teflon free, I include the message they sent me:
Dear Mrs. Wilhelm,
First, thank you for your concern and your communication. ConAgra Foods is committed to providing safe, high-quality products to its customers and consumers, and our microwave popcorn is no exception.
There have been inaccurate reports about the type of coating we use on our microwave popcorn bags. ConAgra Foods does not use Teflon, Teflon chemicals or the substance Zonyl in any of its popcorn bags or in packaging of any other products. Our packaging supplier has verified through studies that our microwave popcorn packaging does not transfer Fluorotelomers into our popcorn.
I want to assure you that the product is safe to consume and manufacture based on guidance from the Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. Our Consumer Affairs professionals are well prepared to answer any consumer questions.
You can contact the Orville Redenbacher Consumer Affairs line for additional information at anytime. The number is 1-800-243-0303.
Again, thank you for inquiring about this matter and giving us an opportunity to respond. We value and appreciate your patronage of Orville Redenbacher and our many other family favorite foods.
Sincerely,
Jenny
