Usually, I purchase nutritional yeast in bulk from the health food storebins for my total nutrition. However, since I moved the price was nearlydouble and I began an internet search. Finding Twin Labs had a reasonableprice on their powder, and knowing they are generally a good label, Iordered several bottles (flat shipping charge) ... enough to last about ayear, actually.Now, after using this for a few weeks, my husband looked at the bottle andnoticed there was an engredient list that included quite a few things,including whey, honey flavoring, and a slew of chemicals I can't pronounce.Does anyone know whether all nutritonal yeast has these additives? Or what"honey flavoring" means? I am really questioning if this is OK.TyrieFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can
