What it is
Yeast is a single-celled microorganism, a type of fungus. "Organic yeast" means it was grown using organic farming methods. It is often grown on organic molasses or grain.
Why it's used
Yeast is used as a leavening agent in baked goods, causing dough to rise and giving bread its characteristic texture. It can also be used to add a savory, umami flavor to foods.
Health notes
Yeast is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of B vitamins and minerals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated yeast and its extracts, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed yeast products. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Yeast is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
