Is yeast gluten free?
Yes, yeast in its natural form is gluten free. This type of yeast, usually sold as ‘active dry yeast’ or ‘instant yeast’, is suitable for gluten-free diets. However, it’s important to note that not all yeast-infused products, like breads or beer, are gluten free because they often use gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley, or rye. Always check the label to verify a product’s gluten status before consumption.
