SkinnyPop White Cheddar Popcorn

Real cheddar, not a cheese dust slogan. SkinnyPop White Cheddar Popcorn lists organic cheddar cheese, whey, and organic skim milk in a 4.4 oz bag.

The owner is American. Brand FAQ text says The Hershey Salty Snacks Company owns SkinnyPop. On 17 April 2023 Hershey described Weaver as a co-manufacturer at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Whitestown, Indiana. Nothing on the cheddar page puts a kettle in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SkinnyPop White Cheddar made in Canada?

No. SkinnyPop White Cheddar does not name a Canadian factory. Hershey said on 17 April 2023 that Weaver co-makes the brand in Pennsylvania and Indiana. Ownership sits with The Hershey Salty Snacks Company.

Does SkinnyPop White Cheddar contain milk?

Yes. SkinnyPop White Cheddar prints Contains Milk. Cheddar on the label is organic, and whey plus skim milk sit beside it. It is not the vegan original bag.

Is SkinnyPop White Cheddar gluten-free?

The brand FAQ says yes for every flavour. SkinnyPop White Cheddar is covered by the line that all products are certified gluten free. Rice flour is in the ingredient list, and the FAQ still says to check the pack.

How is SkinnyPop White Cheddar different from the original?

Cheese, and more sodium. SkinnyPop White Cheddar adds organic cheddar, whey, tapioca solids, rice flour, and yeast extract. Original stops at popcorn, oil, and salt, and it is the vegan one.

What does OU-D mean on SkinnyPop White Cheddar?

Kosher dairy. SkinnyPop White Cheddar carries an OU-D mark, which fits a recipe with milk. The original bag's mark is OU, without the dairy flag.

What other sizes of SkinnyPop White Cheddar exist?

Same flavour, other bags. SkinnyPop White Cheddar lists 1 oz, 8 oz party, and 14 oz next to this 4.4 oz bag, plus snack multipacks. This row is only the 4.4 oz.
