What You Should Know

You'd find RED STAR Active Dry Yeast in the baking aisle or tucked in a home pantry when you're prepping bread, pizza dough, or rolls. It carries a comforting, nostalgic home-baking vibe—think warm crusts and family kitchens—while its single-ingredient, dried-granule form reflects industrial processing to make live yeast shelf-stable; it's not an ultra-processed snack but a processed culinary ingredient.
