citric acid

Dietitian note

Citric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.

Description

Nacho cheese flavored popcorn delivers bold tangy cheese notes and a pronounced seasoned coating. Crunch is firm and reminiscent of chips, with fine powder frequently left on fingers. Commonly enjoyed during movies, parties, or casual snacking; reviewers note intense flavor and crunch but mention heavy dusting and occasional over-seasoning too.
