Product Overview
Nutritional Yeast Flakes are made from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the same species of yeast used in baking and brewing, but grown specifically as a food product, then deactivated through heat so it will not ferment or leaven, and finally rolled or flaked and dried. Unlike active baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a distinctive savory, cheese-like flavor that has made it a staple in vegan and vegetarian cooking.
Nutritional yeast is naturally a source of protein and B-vitamins, and many commercial versions are further fortified with additional B-vitamins, including B12 — a nutrient of particular interest to vegan consumers since B12 is otherwise found almost exclusively in animal products.* It is commonly used both as a food ingredient and as a general-wellness nutritional supplement.*
Applications for Nutritional Yeast Flakes
- Savory flavor and nutrition topping for vegan and plant-based food products
- B-vitamin fortified formulas targeting vegan consumers who may need supplemental B12*
- Ingredient in plant-based protein blends, seasoning mixes, or “cheese” alternative products
- Whole-food nutrition supplement positioning for general wellness and energy support*
- Bulk flake or ground powder format depending on the finished product application
Private label brands should decide whether they want plain nutritional yeast flakes or a fortified version with added B12 and other B-vitamins, since fortification level is a key differentiator in this category and directly affects label claims.* Health Genesis can source nutritional yeast to your fortification specification and package it in flake or powder form under your brand.
Produced in Health Genesis’s FDA-registered, GMP-certified, and NSF-certified Davie, Florida facility, our Nutritional Yeast Flakes reflect more than 25 years of family-owned food-ingredient manufacturing experience. Low MOQs and in-house label design help brands add this savory, B-vitamin-rich staple to their shelf quickly.
Is Nutritional Yeast Flakes fortified with vitamin B12?
We can source both unfortified and B12-fortified nutritional yeast depending on your brand’s positioning; fortified versions are popular with vegan-focused brands since B12 is otherwise scarce in plant foods.
Is this product gluten-free and allergen-friendly?
Yes, our Nutritional Yeast Flakes are vegan, dairy-free, and soy-free, making it a fit for allergen-conscious and plant-based product lines.
What packaging formats are available for private label Nutritional Yeast Flakes?
We typically package nutritional yeast in pouches or jars in flake form, and can also supply a finer ground powder if your product calls for it, with in-house label design and low MOQs available.
