Is Smartfood legit?
LegitNothing questionable here: Smartfood is the real popcorn brand behind the black White Cheddar bag, though a stale, burnt or half-empty bag still turns up now and then. The date and code printed on the bag identify the batch it came from, so keeping the bag is what gives your complaint weight.
What we checked
- On shelves since 1985
- A PepsiCo brand
Watch out for
- A sealed bag that tastes stale well before the date printed on it.
- Something in the bag that should not be there, with only the bag and what is left inside to show for it.
- A favourite flavour that has changed or vanished from the shelves.
