Dried Active Yeast
Product Insights
Dried Active Yeast by Allinson's is a 125 g metal‑canned ingredient marketed as a raising agent for baking. It belongs to the food additive PNNS group, carries a Nutri‑Score of “not applicable”, and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) due to the presence of the emulsifier sorbitan monostearate (E 491). While the yeast provides natural B‑vitamins and protein, the product offers no detailed nutritional breakdown, includes a synthetic additive, and its metal packaging limits reuse, which may be seen as drawbacks for health‑conscious consumers.
