Even Newman’s Own Natural has 3 grams of sat fat. Five cups of Orville Redenbacher’s Butter, Classic Recipe, Kettle Korn, Gourmet White Corn, or Ultimate Butter, for example, deliver around 8 grams of sat fat-nearly half a day’s worth. Instead of trans, most companies rely largely on palm oil. Look for brands-like ACT II, Newman’s Own, most Orville Redenbacher’s, Pop Secret 94% Fat Free and Light, Pop Weaver, Smart Balance, Quinn, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods-that don’t contain partially hydrogenated oil. Doesn’t sound like a lot? Even 2 grams a day is too much, say health authorities. Another dinosaur: old stovetop standby Jiffy Pop, which clocks in at 3.8 grams of trans. A 5-cup serving of Jolly Time KettleMania or Pop Secret Extra Butter, Jumbo Pop Movie Theater Butter, or Kettle Corn hits a heart-threatening 6 grams of trans.

Here’s how to find the best microwave popcorns.
