Herr's Mexican Street Corn Popcorn
What You Should Know
Herr's Mexican Street Corn Popcorn is a shelf-stable, single-serve 2 oz bag of bright, bold-flavored popcorn you’d spot on the snack aisle near chips, party mixes, and other flavored popcorns — often end-capped with seasonal party supplies or adjacent to tortilla chips and salsas. It fits grab-and-go shopping trips for quick snacks, movie-night runs, road-trip pit stops, and casual get-togethers or tailgates. The Herr’s brand carries a regional, nostalgia-tinged American identity — a family-owned snack maker pitched to mainstream snackers who want playful, ethnic-inspired flavors without cooking; marketing leans into bold taste and convenience rather than health. The label reads like a typical flavored snack: no organic certification, no prominent health claims, but it does highlight cheese and “natural flavors,” which can create a mild “real food” halo despite a panel of additives. In plain terms this is an industrially processed flavored snack: popcorn is popped and tumbled with oil, cheese blends, maltodextrin-based seasonings, emulsifiers and acidulants to deliver a consistent shelf-stable product. Sensory notes: bright yellow-orange, powder-coated kernels with a crunchy, slightly oily bite, tangy-cheesy heat from chili and lime-like acids, and a subtly sweet corn background; aroma is savory-cheesy with a hint of smoke. The packaging is a small crinkly plasticized bag, designed for single-person consumption — a quick ritual of tearing, pouring, and crunching while watching a film or sharing at a picnic.

Common Questions about Herr's Mexican Street Corn Popcorn
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This popcorn packs a decent amount of fiber (5g per serving) and protein (6g), which is great for snacking. However, it does have 570mg of sodium and some added sugars, so if you're watching your salt intake or sugar levels, it's something to keep in mind.
