Levadura de panadería is a dried baker’s yeast powder sold in 10 envelopes of 7 g each, marketed as a gluten‑free leavening aid for breads, pastries and other baked goods. The product is classified as a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed food additive and contains yeast (the active leavening agent) together with the anti‑caking agent mono‑ester of sorbitan (E491). While it provides no added sugars, fat or salt and is compatible with vegan and gluten‑free diets, the presence of the synthetic additive may be a concern for consumers seeking wholly natural ingredients.
