Autolyzed Yeast
Autolyzed yeast, or autolyzed yeast extract, is the result of separating yeast to its foundational components through a heating process. It is frequently used as an affordable MSG substitute since it naturally contains MSG. Because MSG naturally occurs in autolyzed yeast, it is not required to be labeled separately on a package's ingredient list.
