Hi,

 

I read some shocking articals on the fat content served in American Theaters. a Large box of Popcorn could contain the same amount of fat as 3-5 MaC Donalds BigMax Cheesburgers. It's not good, so I thought I'd try and found out how much the Popcorn at Ster Kinekor contain.

 

Does any one have a idea?

So for air popped popcorn (as Ster Kinekor does it), you'd need 0.66kgs to match total

fat and 1.5kgs to match saturated fat. That's without the sprinkled flavour on top...

 

So the popcorn is fine (it has lots of fibre, too), but it's more about the stuff you put

on it...

Onetime, daai is American stats, ek soek SA stats

 

Ek Ster Kinecor gemail en hulle het hul suppliers gemail. Volgens Andreas Oostenhuizen die General Manager van Catering before dit die volgende:

 

Every 40 litters of popcorn contains 184.61ml of fresh palm oil that is free of trans fatty acids.

Maar dit help my nie juis nie, ek wil weet hoeveel is daar in n Regular boksie?
