UV-treated baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Description/Definition

Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is treated with ultraviolet light to induce the conversion of ergosterol to vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Vitamin D2 content in the yeast concentrate varies between 800,000 - 3,500,000 IU vitamin D/100 g (200-875 μg/g).

The yeast is inactivated for use in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food, and food for special medical purposes as defined in Regulation (EU) No 609/2013. The yeast can be active or inactive for use in other foods.

The yeast concentrate is blended with regular baker’s yeast in order not to exceed the maximum level in the pre-packed fresh or dry yeast for home baking.

Tan-coloured, free-flowing granules.
