OMAHA (AP) — The nation's largest microwave popcorn maker, ConAgra Foods, says it will change the recipe for its Orville Redenbacher and Act II brands over the next year to remove a flavoring chemical linked to a lung ailment in popcorn plant workers.

The decision comes a day after a doctor at a leading lung research hospital said in a warning letter to federal regulators that consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn.

I was going to post a link to this article earlier today, but you beat me to it. Good for you!

Just being in the same building where someone is making that stuff makes me want to run outside and get some fresh air. I couldn't imagine having to work around crap like that and breathe that foul smell into my lungs all day long. What's even more curious is knowing that people actually EAT that stuff. Rather them than me.
