The label doesn't say, and I don't see anything about non-gmo at all at Solgar's website. Look at Swanson, Kal, and Lewis Labs - theirs are labelled non-gmo. The previous answers are not satisfactory - at least not to me. I am looking for brewers/nutritional yeast, too, and would choose this one over the others if it had a non-gmo label.

From my research, non GMO, produced from beet molasses . After fermentation, the yeast is collected and dried

SOURCE: Most Brewer's Yeasts are derived from the fermentation of beer: Such fermentation involves using grain (such as rice or wheat) malt, active yeast and the dried flowers of hops. The addition of hops to the fermentation gives a characteristic flavor to beer but imparts a bitter taste to the dried Brewer's Yeast obtained as a byproduct. Although efforts are made to debitter the yeast prior to final drying operations, most Brewer's Yeasts are, nevertheless, left with a bitter odor. Solgar® Brewer's Yeast is produced from beet molasses under carefully controlled conditions. After fermentation, the yeast is collected and dried using special techniques to preserve its protein, vitamin and mineral content.

I see it advertised by other sites as non-GMO, but the label doesn't specify this. I can tell you that the fermented version is considered to be the healthiest, however.

If you're looking for yeast bread, then it's going to be harder, since yeast has to have some form of sugar in order to activate. If you can eat fruit, some vegetables, drink milk, or use honey, you're eating sugars. It might take some creativity and making bread from scratch to get something as close to sugar-free as possible. The amount needed to activate yeast is very minimal. I'm diabetic, and eat regular breads (and the minimal amount of sugar in them). Sugars on the labels aren't all from actual sugar. Many plant products have some form of sugar naturally in them. Best of luck :)

They are not the same. Nutritional yeast is made from fermenting sugar cane and/or beets. Brewer's yeast is derived from the brewing of beer. I know that nutritional yeast is a complete protein and very high in B12. Do an internet search "Is nutritional yeast the same as brewer's yeast?" and you will get some good information

I understand that it is, but that it is non-GMO. Not being a biochemist, I can't tell you any more than that. However, if you want more information, you might try calling the company I ordered it from (Xylitol USA Inc. (866) 948-1999, or going to www.xylitolusa.com

I work in a brewery and I find it hard to believe that a home brewer would ask this question. Brewer's yeast is a byproduct of the beer industry, as in After the Fact, not to be used to brew beer.

Carlos, after checking their website I cant be sure if its organic, its listed as kosher and non gmo. All I can say is I have been using this flour for about 7 years now for hearth breads with pretty reliable results and taste. I thought their flours were all organic when I first started ordering but couldnt find it after looking for a couple of minutes. the link to their website is http://shop.honeyville.com/products/bakery/flours/alta-artisan-unbleached-flour-672.html

I think all the ingredients are listed on the website. I don't think brewer's yeast is in it.

I just spent 10 minutes on their website and while it says they grow their nutritional yeast on beets and cane molasses, nowhere do they state that the beets or molasses is non-gmo. I would rather assume that they ARE using GMO products to grow their nutritional yeast - because if they were not, I believe they would say so. This is a company with many healthy products...so there is no reason not to list whether it's GMO or non-GMO. I won't buy it because they don't clarify enough for me.

It is non-GMO and gluten/sugar free if your on the Daniel Plan it fits right in. Also if you are a vegan there is no animal products use to produce it.

It is Organic so it is non-gmo. I love it! I use the red wheat, soft and hard wheat berries 100% of the time.

Yes Judy this product is non-GMO.This is what the label states on the back of the can: "this non-GMO beet-derived brewer's yeast tends to be less bitter tasting than grain derived brewer's yeast".

Unless the ingredients specifically use the term "yeast", I am not able to identify products that may be derived from yeast. Your best bet is to write or call the manufacturer or distributor.

The bottle does not say non GMO but does state. "Does not contain: soy, wheat,lactose, starch, yeast or artificial flavors. Hope this helps.

Contrary to an earlier answer, the NOW website specifically says this is not brewer's yeast.

It is organic so I think it is non-GMO. It does not say anything about it on the label.
