Have been searching for these and came across a health food store today and bought "Lotus brand: Savoury Yeast Flakes: ideal for vegetarians." the lady said she has not heard of NYF but this sounds like it may be it??
Ingredients: dried yeast, niacin(b3) pyridoxine(b6) thiamin(b1) riboflavin(b2) and vitamin b12.

Do you think it is the same thing?

I absolutely HATE the taste of them! Let me know if you find some good mixers....V8 is the best I can do right now, and even that is a nose-pincher for me.

I suspect it might taste less like ass with some warm broth or something earthy. Is it a good idea for when you are pg, or in the 2ww?

Yes it's GREAT for pregnancy. I drank TONS of it when I was pregnant with DS 2 because I was anemic and can't stomach iron pills.

As much as you like within reason. If you ingest massive amounts over the course of time, obviously that is never a good idea for ANYTHING.

"The recommended daily amount of nutritional yeast is approximately 2 tablespoons of large flakes, 1 1/2 tablespoons of miniflakes, or 1 heaping tablespoon of powder. Occasionally having larger servings than this should not pose a problem, but on a regular basis it would be smart to stay closer to these guidelines."
