Why is nutritional yeast classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and what additives does it contain?

Nutritional yeast is made from dried inactive yeast that is heated and dried, which places it in the processed (NOVA 3) category. The ingredient list shows dried yeast from molasses, sulphites used as preservatives, and small amounts of soy; the product is also manufactured in a plant that handles wheat gluten.

How does the high protein and calorie content of nutritional yeast affect a diabetic or weight‑conscious diet?

The low sugar (0.1 g) makes it safe for blood‑glucose control, but the 332 kcal per 100 g means it adds significant energy; portion control is important for weight management while the 50.6 g of protein can help maintain muscle mass.

Is this nutritional yeast suitable for strict vegan, gluten‑free, or soy‑free diets?

The product is certified vegan and contains no animal ingredients, but it lists soy as an ingredient and is produced in a facility that also processes wheat gluten, so it may not meet strict soy‑free or gluten‑free standards.
