Foods Alive Nutritional Yeast Flakes, 6 oz (170 g)

Foods Alive Nutritional Yeast Flakes is a deactivated yeast product designed as a vegan-friendly flavoring agent, often used to add a lightly cheesy note to dishes. Unlike many nutritional yeast products, it is non-fortified, meaning its vitamins and minerals occur naturally without synthetic additions; the manufacturer notes that B12 levels are minimal and not listed on the label. It provides protein, dietary fiber, and a range of nutrients, including B vitamins like thiamin and niacin, as well as minerals such as iron and potassium.

This yeast is cultured on a substrate of unsulfured beet molasses and corn sugar, which is consumed during growth and not present in the final product. The manufacturer emphasizes that it is made in the USA, non-GMO (with certification from the supplier), gluten-free (tested at less than 5ppm), and not irradiated. Available in a 6 oz package, it also comes in other sizes like 2 lbs and 50 lbs, and the manufacturer provides recipe suggestions such as an alfredo sauce on the packaging.
