What happened
Prospector Popcorn is recalling four gourmet popcorn products because the nutrition labels have inaccurate values for certain nutrients (like carbohydrates, cholesterol, potassium, calcium, iron, and Vitamin D). Some values were listed too low and others too high compared to what's actually in the product. This affects popcorn with best-by dates on or before July 10, 2027, sold in many US states.
What to do
If you have any of these popcorn products, check the best-by date and UPC code against the recall list. This is a labeling accuracy issue, not a contamination issue, but if you have dietary concerns tied to these specific nutrients, avoid consuming the product and contact the retailer where you purchased it or the company for more information.
