Product Insights
Malted yeast, sold by the French brand MARKAL in 250 g plastic bags, is a malted yeast flake produced in France from the culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae enriched with 7% malt extract. It is classified as a food additive (NOVA 4, ultra-processed) and falls under the cereal-and-grain derivatives PNNS group, carrying a 'not applicable' Nutri-Score while providing protein, B-vitamins, gluten, and possible traces of nuts, sesame and soy. The high level of processing and presence of allergens make it unsuitable for gluten-intolerant consumers, although it offers a convenient, plant-based nutrient source for those without such sensitivities.
