Question

Dear Rabbi, If Henry finds out that the butter is a mere 1% of the pocorn ingedients and therefore "batel beshishim", do we care that this is 'butter popcorn' and the butter is central to the taste? Gracias, Moises

No. It would be fine. Usually they put real butter in to have it listed on the ingredients, but the actual butter flavor comes from an artificial flavor. That's why it tastes so strong. Real butter doesn't have such a strong taste and after-taste. AA
