Orville Redenbacher SmartPop Popcorn
Fat free, mostly. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop Popcorn is the microwave box Conagra calls 94 percent fat free. Cartons come as 3, 6, or 10 bags, plus an 8-bag mini.
Popping for the microwave range happens in Rensselaer, Indiana. The plant page puts Orville, Act II, and Angie's Boomchickapop microwave bags at 750 Drexel Parkway, and it cites about 3.2 million bags a day.
On the Canada brand page the line is number one by 2021 AC Nielsen retail dollars, all formats. The kernel line says family farms and skips the country.
Conagra's Canadian office is in Mississauga. Plants in Boisbriand and Dresden are named for the company, not for SmartPop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orville Redenbacher SmartPop made in Canada?
No. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop is microwave popcorn, and Conagra's plant page puts that format in Indiana. A Mississauga office does not mean the bag was popped there.
Is Orville Redenbacher SmartPop actually low fat?
The page says 94 percent fat free. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop uses that figure and still calls the flavour buttery. The Canada page does not show grams of fat per serving.
What box sizes does Orville Redenbacher SmartPop come in?
Four options. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop lists 3-bag, 6-bag, and 10-bag cartons, and a mini pack of 8. Gram weights are not on the page.
Is SmartPop the same as Extra Buttery?
No. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop is the lower-fat buttery box. Extra Buttery is a richer sibling with different carton counts, including 18 and 24 bags.
Where are SmartPop kernels from?
Family farms, with no country. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop uses the same Canada brand sentence as the other flavours. Farm origin and plant location are not the same claim.
Who owns Orville Redenbacher SmartPop?
Conagra Brands, Inc., which describes its headquarters as Chicago. Orville Redenbacher SmartPop is sold in Canada by Conagra Brands Canada, Inc.
