Recently many outlets have exposed the harms of microwave popcorn indicating the lining of the bag contains chemicals that are cancer causing. I have two query s; 1. Is any amount safe to injest (ie monthly or yearly) 2. If I take the actual popcorn out of the packaging and pop it in a different way is it safe to eat? Thank you, as you may guess I ask because I have boxes of these, however do not eat very often but do not want to throw them out if not necessary.
Hi. Nobody knows the exact answer as there is no proper research on it. Microwaves dont produce harmfull effect in food. The utensil in which we cook should be of good quality because chemicals may be released from utensil during the process and may harm us. Similarly the packaging material should be of good quality to avoid harmful effect.
