ℹ️General Overview

Bakers yeast is safe for most adults in foods and drinks. It may cause mild digestion symptoms or rarely allergic reactions.

What to Do

Do not eat raw uncooked dough that contains live yeast. Avoid if you have a known yeast allergy or if you are severely immunocompromised. See your doctor if you get severe symptoms after eating.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for allergic reactions such as rash swelling or breathing difficulty. Immunocompromised people should avoid live yeast due to rare risk of systemic infection. Do not rely on yeast if you are on antifungal therapy without medical advice.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Irritant: Although food-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae is generally safe, rare allergic reactions to yeast have been reported (urticaria, rash, itching) after exposure or ingestion. For sensitive baby skin or infants with yeast allergy, exposure could cause skin redness or rash.
Immune system: Saccharomyces species are opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised or medically vulnerable patients; case reports describe invasive infection (fungemia) from S. cerevisiae/S. boulardii in hospitalized or immunosuppressed infants and adults. This represents a risk to infants who are immunocompromised or have central lines.
