Product Insights
Nutritional Yeast Flakes are a vegan, gluten‑free, protein‑rich condiment made from dried inactive yeast that is fortified with a full spectrum of B‑vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) and zinc, and it falls under the protein category of the French PNNS food groups. The product carries a NOVA 1 rating, indicating minimal processing, but it does not have a Nutri‑Score because it is classified as a food additive, and it lists several allergens including soy, celery, milk, mustard and sulphites. While it provides a convenient source of essential micronutrients without added sugars, fats or salt, the presence of synthetic vitamin forms and multiple allergens may limit its suitability for some consumers.
