Marmite Yeast Extract Spread from Mexico
Marmite is a thick, dark brown spread made from concentrated yeast extract obtained from brewer's yeast, typically spread on toast or used in cooking. It falls under HTS 2103.90.40.00 as a nonalcoholic preparation of yeast extract, distinct from sauces due to its concentrated paste form without being a ready-to-use sauce. This classification applies to pure yeast extract products not mixed into condiments or seasonings.
