Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning

Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning is a fortified dried-yeast seasoning sold in a 4.5 oz bottle. Bragg describes nutritional yeast as “an inactivated version of the yeast often used to make bread or beer” with a savory or umami flavor (Bragg).

Who it suits

It suits cooks who want a dairy-free topping for popcorn, pasta, rice and vegetables; Bragg suggests using it “as a substitute for grated cheese.” For how to read the fortified ingredient line, the 2 tbsp serving and the B vitamin %DV column, see our nutritional yeast label guide.

What reviewers say

We could not find an independent review of this seasoning that we could read in full, so we do not summarize reviews here.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Every added vitamin is named in the ingredient line
• Pro: Amounts and %DV printed for all six B vitamins
• Con: Serving is 2 tbsp, so smaller amounts need your own arithmetic
• Con: Fortified, so not the pick if you want yeast with nothing added

Cautions

• Contains added folic acid and vitamin B12 among other B vitamins; check the panel if you also take a supplement with the same vitamins.
• Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about these vitamin amounts.
