Is this fortified nutritional yeast?

From what I read, fortified nutritional yeast is nutritional yeast that has Vit B12 added to it. Hoosier Hill Farm Premium Large Yeast Flakes is not labeled fortified but it does have Vit B12.

Since the label does say there is substantial Vit B-12 in this product it folows it MUST be fortified with B12. Nutritional yeast is often used by vegans & vegetarians who sometimes need B12 supplementation their diets with vitamin B12. The yeast colonies cannot produce B12, which is only naturally produced by bacteria. Some brands of nutritional yeast, including this one are fortified with vitamin B12. When fortified, the vitamin B12 is produced separately (commonly cyanocobalamin) and then added to the yeast.

On the label for nutrional facts, it reads Inactive Dried Yeast. There is no mention of fortified yeast.

Not really. Yeast contains a lot of glutamic acid, a precursor to MSG - but so do tomatos, cheese, meat and etc. So, is that bad for your health? Probably not.

Chromium is not listed on the container.But my understanding is that brewers yeast naturally has chromium.

Yes. The enhancer just makes the yeast work better. I use it with whole wheat or multi-grain flours to make them rise more so they will have a lighter texture.

I Don't think this would be the same as Fermax Yeast Nutrient. This is more for breaking down corn etc. into starch so it can ferment.

It is not live yeast. No yeast in product; call them and they will tell you themselves.

Nutritional yeast is deactivated (unlike baking yeast) and has a shelf life of 18 to 24 months. Where it is made shouldn't matter.

Nowhere on the bottle does it show yeast. Contains soy is the only other ingredient other than the vitamins and minerals and supplements.

Yes it is yeast but spoon for spoon is different and it is not typical bread yeast. I would not use it for anything unless u experiment it is very good but u have to know exchange amounts. Excellent for bread. But expensive

The bottle has the words, "GUARANTEED NO ADDED" a number of ingredients including yeast, gluten etc. So, it is yeast & gluten free.

I took a photo of the back ingredients on bottle but there is no option here to place the photo. It does not appear to have sugar or yeast but sometimes hard to tell. It does say contains no milk, soy, egg or wheat. Be well!

The package does not state that the product is fortified with any additional vitamins. The only additional information is that the product is Kosher certified. I hope this is helpful.

I don't remember seeing any GMOs or anything that is "enriched" or "fortified" listed on the ingredients label, but I'll check when I get home and report back to you tomorrow Karen!

MegaFood is a gluten, soy, and dairy free company. Additionally, all MegaFood products test free of herbicides and pesticides. Nutritional yeast, however, is utilized to deliver a number of FoodState Nutrients, including the majority of the B vitamins. This nutritional yeast, however, is in-active and should not cause nor contribute to candida/yeast concerns.

Chromium is not listed as one of the nutrients, but I read that most brewers yeast contain chromium.
