Products classified under HTS 2102.20.20.00
Inactive Baker's Yeast
Inactive baker's yeast, also known as deactivated dry yeast, is used as a flavor enhancer in baking and seasoning blends rather than for leavening. It falls under HTS 2102.20.20.00 as an inactive yeast excluding dried brewer's yeast, classified in this subheading for its role in food preparation beyond active fermentation.
Deactivated Nutritional Yeast Flakes
Deactivated nutritional yeast flakes are inactive Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast grown on molasses, fortified with B vitamins for a cheesy flavor in vegan recipes. Classified under HTS 2102.20.20.00 as inactive yeast (not dried brewer's), it's used solely for seasoning and nutrition, not fermentation.
Inactive Yeast Extract Powder
Inactive yeast extract powder is derived from autolyzed inactive yeasts, providing umami flavor for soups, sauces, and snacks without living cells. It qualifies for HTS 2102.20.20.00 as processed inactive yeast, distinct from active or brewer's varieties.
Torula Inactive Yeast for Pet Food
Torula inactive yeast (Candida utilis) is a dead single-cell microorganism used in pet foods for palatability and nutrition. HTS 2102.20.20.00 covers such inactive yeasts in food applications, excluding vaccines or active forms.
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Inactive Yeast Granules
Granulated inactive Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast serves as a seasoning in spreads and snacks, deactivated to prevent fermentation. It fits HTS 2102.20.20.00 for inactive yeasts used in culinary applications, not brewing.
Autolyzed Yeast Seasoning for Soups
Autolyzed inactive yeast seasoning provides natural glutamate flavor for instant soups and broths, processed from dead yeast cells. Classified in HTS 2102.20.20.00 as inactive yeast preparations excluding brewer's types.
Inactive Yeast for Vegan Cheese Flavor
Inactive yeast flakes or powder mimicking parmesan cheese flavor in vegan products, fully deactivated for shelf stability. HTS 2102.20.20.00 applies to such inactive single-cell yeasts in food use.
Debaryomyces Inactive Yeast Biomass
Inactive Debaryomyces hansenii yeast biomass used in fermented food flavorings like cheese rinds. Falls under HTS 2102.20.20.00 for other inactive yeasts and dead single-cell microorganisms.
Food-Grade Inactive Yeast for Broth Bases
Food-grade inactive yeast powder enhances umami in bouillon cubes and broth concentrates, derived from non-brewer's strains. HTS 2102.20.20.00 covers these inactive yeast products for culinary enhancement.
Killer Yeast Inactive Strain Powder
Inactive killer yeast strains (with toxin genes deactivated) used for specific flavor profiles in baking adjuncts. Classified under HTS 2102.20.20.00 as inactive yeasts for food processing.
