Pop Secret Popcorn

Brand Origin and Evolution

Pop Secret is a premier manufacturer of microwave popcorn, a brand that has become synonymous with home movie nights since its inception. Originally launched by General Mills in the mid-1980s, it quickly rose to prominence as a household staple in North America, known for its iconic buttery flavors and high-quality kernels.

Ownership History

The brand has undergone several corporate transitions. After its time with General Mills, it was acquired by Diamond Foods in 2008. Later, in 2016, Snyder's-Lance acquired Diamond Foods, and eventually, the entire portfolio was purchased by the Campbell Soup Company in 2018. However, in late 2024, the Campbell Soup Company reached an agreement to sell the Pop Secret brand to Our Home, a focused snack nut and salty snack manufacturer. This move places the brand under the umbrella of a specialized snack holding company looking to expand its reach in the savory snack sector.

Manufacturing and Distribution

The product is primarily manufactured in the United States, utilizing corn sourced from American farms. The production process emphasizes the standard of high-expansion kernels and proprietary butter flavoring that has defined the brand's market presence for decades.
