So, is popcorn vegan? Sometimes! But, always watch out for added ingredients, which are likely to be made from animal products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#list\"><button>Jump To Full Vegan Popcorn List<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Popcorn (meaning the unflavored, popped corn kernels) is completely vegan.<\/strong>\u00a0But, many of the commonly added flavors are not vegan, such as butter.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is Some Popcorn Not Vegan<\/h3>\n<p>Popcorn, in its basic form, is just corn. To make popcorn, you just have to heat corn kernels. After heating them for a period of time, the pressure inside of the kernel builds until it suddenly ruptures and expands. So, popcorn is naturally plant-based until other ingredients are added to it.<\/p>\n<p>The reason that popcorn is often not vegan is because a commonly added ingredient is butter, which is a dairy product. Because popcorn is often served this way, it&#8217;s easy to forget that you don&#8217;t <em>have<\/em> to add butter to popcorn.<\/p>\n<p>You also don&#8217;t have to add butter to popcorn to make it taste good! If you&#8217;ve ever tried a plant-based butter before, you know that a buttery flavor is pretty easy to match without using animal products.<\/p>\n<p>To make something taste &#8220;buttery,&#8221; you usually just have to add something with a lot of fat in it, such as oil. Some oils taste more like butter than others, and sunflower oil seems to be a favorite for vegan popcorn brands.<\/p>\n<p>Butter isn&#8217;t the only culprit, however. There are tons of non-vegan popcorn flavors out there, and some of them are pretty obvious. Steer clear of popcorn flavors that use animal products in their names, such as cheddar and bacon-flavored.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Tell if Popcorn is Vegan<\/h2>\n<p>There are generally three different kinds of popcorn you can buy: microwave popcorn, pre-popped popcorn, and movie popcorn. You might have to go about it a little differently for each, but to determine if a brand is vegan, you have to find out if every ingredient is vegan.<\/p>\n<h3>Microwavable Popcorn and Pre-Popped Popcorn<\/h3>\n<p>For these two types of popcorn, you just have to read the ingredients list to find out if the brand is plant-based. The fewer ingredients listed, the better. The more ingredients listed, the more likely an animal product is included.<\/p>\n<p>A good place to start is to see if the product lists any allergens. Because many popcorn flavors are dairy products, a warning will often be written on the product that includes dairy.<\/p>\n<p>It will usually say something like &#8220;warning: contains milk.&#8221; If there is a warning for any non-vegan allergens, like milk or eggs, you can be sure that a popcorn brand is not vegan.<\/p>\n<p>But, just because there is no warning on the package doesn&#8217;t mean that the product is pant-based. There are many non-vegan ingredients that do not have to be listed as a warning, such as honey or meat flavorings. So always double-check the ingredients list even if there is no allergen warning.<\/p>\n<p>Going through these ingredient lists can be difficult, especially if you are unfamiliar with tricky non-vegan ingredients. For example, your eyes might scan right over disodium insonate, but this common flavoring ingredient is usually derived from fish.<\/p>\n<p>To make things easier, I put together two lists of ingredients that are commonly found in the microwave and popped popcorn brands. One list is for the vegan-friendly ingredients and the other is a list of ingredients to watch out for.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Common Ingredients that are Vegan-Friendly<\/strong>: corn,\u00a0palm oil,\u00a0sunflower oil,\u00a0salt,\u00a0tocopherols (vitamin E),\u00a0sucralose,\u00a0ascorbic acid (vitamin C),\u00a0TBHQ<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udeab Non-Vegan Ingredients to Watch Out for:\u00a0<\/strong>Mono and Diglycerides,\u00a0Cheese,\u00a0Milk\/Milk Powder,\u00a0meat flavors (like bacon),\u00a0natural flavors (might be plant-based, but usually not \u2014 avoid if the product isn&#8217;t labeled vegan),\u00a0whey,\u00a0Sodium Caseinate,\u00a0Lactose<\/p>\n<h3>Is Movie Popcorn Vegan?<\/h3>\n<p>Determining if movie popcorn is vegan is more difficult than with the store-bought brands. You can&#8217;t just flip over the bag of popcorn and read the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>To tell if a movie theater&#8217;s popcorn is vegan, it&#8217;s best to contact the movie theater before you go. You don&#8217;t want to wait until you get there, as many times the people working won&#8217;t have the answer.\u00a0Also, some people aren&#8217;t completely sure what vegan is (they might think it&#8217;s the same as vegetarian) and incorrectly tell you that their butter-smothered popcorn is plant-based.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a specific movie theater, check out the list below to see if I have already contacted the movie theater or found their allergen guide.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cinemark\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Cinemark<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Cinemark popcorn is vegan.
