Popcorn Bags May Pose Health Risk
Microwave popcorn bags could pose a health risk, according to a new study.
Researchers found a coating used to make the bags grease resistant is seeping into the popcorn, Local 6 News reported.
An independent review board for the Environmental Protection Agency found a chemical that can be extracted from the coating does cause cancer in animals.
Dupont, which makes the coating, said consumers should still feel safe about eating microwave popcorn.
