Common questions

Is Fleischmann's Active dry yeast healthy?

Fleischmann's Active dry yeast scores 97/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Fleischmann's Active dry yeast?

Fleischmann's Active dry yeast lists 2 ingredients, starting with Yeast and Sorbitan Monostearate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Fleischmann's Active dry yeast contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Fleischmann's Active dry yeast’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Fleischmann's Active dry yeast?
