Caution

Sometimes. Yeast refers to a group of microorganisms used in baking and fermentation, often grown on a carbohydrate source such as glucose or molasses. Yeast should be avoided on a corn-free diet when the growth medium is derived from corn; please contact the manufacturer for details.

Yeast and the Corn Free Diet

Yeast is a type of fungus that is essential in various food processes, particularly in baking and fermentation. It facilitates the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, which is crucial for leavening bread and producing alcoholic beverages. Yeast is typically grown on carbohydrate-rich substrates such as glucose, molasses, or other sugars.
