Butterkist popcorn

Butterkist is the UK's leading popcorn brand, holding a significant share of the market with its range of sweet, salted, and toffee varieties. The brand has a heritage dating back to the early 20th century in the United States, but it was established as a British household favorite after being brought to the UK.

Today, the brand is manufactured in the United Kingdom by KP Snacks. The operations are centered around their production facilities in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire. This local production ensures the product remains a staple of the British snacking industry while supporting regional manufacturing.

Butterkist is currently owned by Intersnack Group, a major European snack food manufacturer based in Germany. Intersnack acquired KP Snacks in 2013, bringing Butterkist under its broad international portfolio which also includes other famous British brands such as McCoy's, Hula Hoops, and Tyrrells.
