Marmite Yeast Extract — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Marmite Yeast Extract by Marmite OKAY — score 60/90.
Short, clean ingredient list that genuinely delivers B vitamins, but it's extremely high in salt so keep servings tiny.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable ingredient list with no artificial additives or added sugar
- Genuinely rich in B vitamins including folic acid and B12
- Very high in salt, so portions must stay tiny
- Fat-free and sugar-free, but sodium is the real trade-off
Ingredients (5)
- YEAST EXTRACT (safe) — Concentrated deactivated yeast that supplies natural glutamates for the savory flavor plus B vitamins; a whole-ish food, not a synthetic additive.
- Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
- vegetable juice concentrate (safe) — Adds color and mild flavor; a minor, benign ingredient.
- Added B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B12, folic acid) (safe) — Genuine micronutrient fortification; the folic acid and B12 are especially useful for vegans and vegetarians.
- Natural flavouring (contains celery) (safe) — Rounds out the savory profile; celery is a listed allergen but the additive itself is benign.
