About Deactivated yeast

Deactivated yeast is yeast that has been processed so it is no longer active as a leavening organism. The catalogue does not identify the yeast type or whether the ingredient is whole, dried, powdered, or otherwise prepared.

It is used as a food ingredient, including in products where yeast contributes flavour or solids, but the exact application is not stated. It may be supplied in different physical forms, and its colour, texture, and savoury or yeasty flavour vary with processing and product. It should not be confused with active baking yeast.
