We use Jolly Time in the plastic bags.  We determined to be safe for our allergen list about 4 years ago.  We use a lot of it and have never had a problem.

LOL.  Some months it's about 16- 18 lbs.

My DH is known affectionately as "Popcorn Man." 

We burn out a hot air popper about every 18-24 months.  They live a normal life... it's just... overuse.   :hiding:

I highly recommend a Misto alongside a hot air popper for anyone with a soy allergy, btw-- helps the salt stick.  I use Butter Buds on mine, and DH likes sea salt.   :heart:

You and krasota, lol. I mean, she *has* been an avid consumer of popcorn for over 30 years.

We buy the HUGE jugs of Orville Reddenbacher's at Costco.  IMMV, but our shellfish, soy, egg, and nut-allergic family members all eat it.  A lot of it, I might add.

We eat a LOT of popcorn here because it's our go-to snack and lazy dinner alternative-- we go through at least 10 lbs a month.   

I should feel some shame in that value, I'm sure.   :hiding:

I buy any brand - it's not something that I worry about.

I did make carmel corn this year....OMG so good - and nice for DS to be able to try it.

It's not something I typically worry about, but I did contact both Lehman (Amish Country Popcorn) and Yoder's Popcorn and there were no concerns for gluten, soy, peanuts, or tree nuts.  I wouldn't even worry about shellfish and egg, nor garlic for whole kernels.

I've also bought bags of kernels at the grocery store when desperate.  (I take my popcorn very seriously and prefer Indiana popcorn to others.)

We do not deal with egg or garlic, but I would think you'd be safe from egg with any of them.  I have no idea about garlic, though.

Don't worry about the kernels themselves (you can see our allergens below).
