It's the first thing many home cooks reach for when cooking, baking or grilling. But a series of new lawsuits filed against the company that makes the popular cooking spray Pam has many questioning whether this pantry staple is potentially hazardous.
Today, while there are several different varieties, Pam's original formula contains canola oil, palm oil, coconut oil, lecithin from soybeans, dimethyl silicone, rosemary extract and propellant. In food terms, a propellant is a chemical agent that allows something to be easily propelled or sprayed, like a gas or alcohol.
, the lawyer representing the accusers, the main issue isn't just about what's in the cooking spray, but also the cooking spray cans themselves. All of the alleged instances — which took place in different states over the past two years — involved larger cans of cooking spray. “Perhaps more alarming is the fact that, to this day, Conagra apparently refuses to institute a nationwide recall to ensure that the defective cans sitting on store shelves right now are removed before someone else suffers permanent injury from an explosion," Smith said in a statement."Each day that these cans remain on store shelves, Conagra’s negligence puts consumers in danger.”
