"Diacetyl, the chemical that makes food taste like artificial butter flavor" [The Pump Handle] is back in the news, with a not-so-open-to-the-public OSHA meeting of the SBREFA panel. The future of diacetyl use in the food industry remains unclear.
Wikipedia has more on Bronchiolitis obliterans or popcorn lung. The tale of the single civilian victim appeared previously on PlagueBlog. (PlagueBlog recommends against eating your weight in artificially-flavored popcorn in any given year.)
