GMO’s in Nutritional Yeast?

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Joann Henderson
At a previous Co-op meeting there was some discussion about the possibility of GMO’s in nutritional yeast because it is grown on sugar beet substrate, among other things. Following is a letter from Red Star Yeast, that may clear this up.  I would just add that it would be good to know who did the testing.
