About Brewers yeast
Brewers yeast is yeast associated with brewing, supplied as an ingredient in forms such as dried or powdered preparations. The name does not establish a particular strain, processing method, or whether the product is active or inactive.
It may be used in food products as an ingredient or flavouring component. Powdered forms are typically fine and may have a savoury, yeasty taste, but characteristics vary with processing. The specific product label is needed to establish its form and intended use.
