Can Microwave Popcorn go 'off'?

Hi, I'm sitting in tonight watching a movie with my Nephew, and we found some Kelkin Micro Popcorn American style. It's loose (As in not in the box) But is still in it's individual plastic wrapping around the paper bag. It has no best before date on it, and i have no idea when it was bought. At a guess, i'd say it's a year…

Hi,

I'm sitting in tonight watching a movie with my Nephew, and we found some Kelkin Micro Popcorn American style.

It's loose (As in not in the box) But is still in it's individual plastic wrapping around the paper bag.
It has no best before date on it, and i have no idea when it was bought. At a guess, i'd say it's a year old.

Is it okay to eat? Does Microwaveable popcorn "expire"?

Micriwave popcorn is basically corn kernals in a solid fat. Not too different to butter. I imagine the fat/oil can go rancid

Don't keep us in suspense! Was it mouldy?
