not allowed to sell fresh yeast!

Deedee73

I've just been into a local supermarket, and I asked at the bakery if I could purchase some fresh yeast, the reply I got was "No" we are not allowed to sell it to customers. So I phone head office, and yup it's true, they are not allowed to sell it due to health and safety!

Now I am sure I read somewhere that a bakery/bakers had to be able to offer yeast to the public, am I dreaming or is it true?

Thanks all

I still get free yeast from ASDA........(????)

Try a "real" bakery? If you can find one these days, that is.

PS. Don't get me started on Health & Safety: the only people who would classify a "Claymore" wire-operated anti-personnel mine as a trip hazard.

According to another MSE post it seems to have beens topped late last year, but someone got some from Asda a few months ago:

I have a bakery just around the corner, it's just I was in there at the time! Local bakery is ok for yeast, I just wanted to try a different batch as it were!

Tesco will give you some

the really nice bakers in our Tesco give me yeast, but it's just occurred to me that I should have "declared" it at the till to be weighed and....... ooops!!!!

My asda give out fresh yeast free if you ask at the bread counter.

Our Tesco give it for free - and if you declare it at the till, they don't want to know. Sainsburys sell it for 16p regardless of how much you get - which makes me feel better - lol
