turtledove Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I know it is OK to have nutritional yeast. Some posts commented on being aware of the source of the yeast to make sure it is ok. I picked up nutritional yeast to try in a recipe and I bought the Red Star variety. From their website "RED STAR Nutritional Yeast is primary from pure strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown on mixtures of cane and beet molasses. After the fermentation process is completed,”Cream yeast” is heated by means of a heat exchanger and held at pasteurization temperatures for a period long enough to inactivate the yeast. During this holding period, all necessary vitamins are added to meet the requirements of the specific type of nutritional yeast produced." Is this OK? I'm hesitant on the cane and beet molasses part. If this one is a no go, I can return it for Bob's Red Mill variety. This was a smaller container and since I have never tried it before, thought it might be better. TIA!

I think this is fine; I don't know how you would make or activate yeast without sugar of some sort and the yeast actually consumes the sugar just like in Kombucha where the fermentation process consumes the sugar.
