Brewer's Yeast Powder Inactive from Germany
Inactive brewer's yeast powder is a byproduct of beer production where yeast cells are killed and processed into a fine powder rich in proteins and minerals. Under HTS 2102.20.60.00, it serves as a dietary supplement and flavor enhancer, not for fermentation.

Import Tips
• Include processing records showing heat/pressure treatment that renders yeast inactive
• Test for gluten content if marketed to celiacs, as brewer's yeast processing varies
• Declare protein content accurately; high-protein yeasts may face supplement scrutiny under DSHEA
