Sourcing

Description Member Owned Since 1976 Responsible To People and Planet  Non-Irradiated Kosher  Frontier Co-op® Nutritional Yeast Powder is made from a single-celled organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiæ, grown on cane and beet molasses. The yeast is harvested, washed, pasteurized and dried with heat to "deactivate" it. Because it's inactive, it has no ability to leaven like baking yeast, but works great as a seasoning and non-dairy cheese

AdditivesNo additives found
