Is yeast extract gluten free?
The answer to the question “Is yeast extract gluten free?” is mainly, yes. Yeast extract generally does not contain gluten as it is usually made from sugar beet molasses or cane sugar, neither of which contain gluten. However, if the yeast extract is a byproduct of beer brewing, it could potentially contain gluten. Always check the product label or contact the manufacturer to be sure if you’re dealing with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
