Popcorn Products

1.	How do I keep my popcorn fresh? Following are some recommendations for helping to extend your popcorn's freshness: Do not open the package until you are ready to eat it. Do not expose the product to adverse weather conditions (rain, sleet, snow, etc.). Once opened, store popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not refrigerate, reheat or microwave any of our products. Generally, our popcorn will remain fresh about 60 days in the right environment (away from humidity and heat).
2.	I have allergies...are your products free from peanuts, tree nuts, nut oils, soy and/or dairy? While only some of our products actually contain nuts or nut products, all of our products are produced in a facility that uses milk, soy, peanuts and tree nuts. We cannot guarantee that any of our products are completely free from cross contamination during cooking, processing or packaging.
3.	Is your popcorn kosher? Yes! All Dale and Thomas Popcorn products are certified Kosher OU-D.
4.	Is your popcorn gluten free? Yes! Popcorn and other corn varieties are naturally free of gluten. Gluten is a protein typically found in barley, wheat, rye, their cross-breeds (triticale), and by-products such as flour and MSG. While none of our products contain any of these ingredients and popcorn is a gluten-free grain, we had a FDA-affiliated lab analyze our popcorn because we are very concerned about our customers. The test results found no traces of gluten using the AOAC/CODEX Certified R5 method at a 20 parts per million accuracy level.
5.	Are your peanut butter popcorns safe to eat? Dale and Thomas Popcorn does not purchase or use peanut butter products from the Peanut Corporation of America or the King Nut Company. All Dale and Thomas Popcorn products are safe to consume. For our full statement on this topic, please click here.
