You can continue to eat your favorite movie munchies without fear. The chemical in question is diacetyl, used to make butter flavorings.
Diacetyl is found naturally in real butter and it’s safe to eat. But at industrial levels, when large amounts of hot vapors containing diacetyl are breathed in for long periods, it may damage delicate lung tissue.
So, the bottom line is that the amount if diacetyl released from individual bags is so small that there’s no evidence it poses any risk.
