Accepted Answer

I sent an email asking for the vitamin B content of this product and received the following information in response:

Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritional Yeast is unfortified with no artificial/synthetic fortification of any type — all vitamins/minerals naturally occur in the yeast. We don't add any synthetic vitamins.  Most nutritional yeast is fortified with excessive amounts of several B vitamins, including synthetic folic acid. Since Dr. Fuhrman cautions against the dangers of supplemental folic acid, it was critical to source this safer, unfortified nutritional yeast. Evidence suggests synthetic folic acid, which is chemically different than natural folate, promotes cancer growth and disrupts normal folate metabolism.  In addition to the nutrition facts on the shop page, it also contains the naturally occurring nutrients below.

A tablespoon would provide:
