Where this data comes from
USDA FoodData Central is the United States government's authoritative reference for food composition, maintained by the Agricultural Research Service and updated as new laboratory analyses and manufacturer submissions are processed. Yeast extract spread is catalogued there as FDC ID 167717, a usda standard reference entry, in the "Vegetables and Vegetable Products" food group. Every figure on this page comes from USDA laboratory analysis under the FDC USDA Standard Reference program, standardized to 100 g so it can be compared fairly against any other food in the database. Values are shown on the USDA per-100 g basis.
By the per-100g standardization, Yeast extract spread reads as high protein, good fiber source, low fat, high sodium within common dietary frameworks. Compare it against 6 nutritionally similar items in Nearby Foods below, or browse the whole Vegetables and Vegetable Products group for context.
