Description

A single cell biological product used in brewing and baking.

Used in the brewing and bakery trades and shipped in boxes or drums.
Yeast is susceptible to damage arising from carriage temperature variations where damage can be irreparable and mould is present. A maximum carriage temperature normally applies which should be supplied by the shipper and it is also carried under refrigeration both chilled or hard frozen depending on the variety.
