The Lesaffre Group is the world's largest yeast manufacturing company. Established in France (in 1853), Lesaffre's operations now span the globe. We have operational bases in 37 countries and 5 continents. In 2007 we launched the Lesaffre Human Care business unit. The goal of this operating company is to leverage our expertise in yeast, yeast derivatives and biotechnology into the human health & nutrition marketplace.
Lesaffre’s Red Star® and LYNSIDE® brands of nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are grown specifically for their nutritive value. In addition to protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, it contains additional functional and beneficial components such as β-1,3 glucan, trehalose, mannan and glutathione. Studies have shown these components may have potential health benefits such as improved immune response, reduction of cholesterol and anti-cancer properties.
We currently service five different markets, all requiring specific products. Our focus is on continued research and new product development. We are constantly evaluating new applications for nutritional and mineral yeast while focusing on and listening to our client’s requests for new and innovative ideas. Our Sales, Marketing, Technical and R&D groups also serve as a resource base for our clients when they need to solve complex problems.
