Notice to our valued customers: Lesaffre Yeast Corporation has experienced packaging flaws with the JUN 2014 or JUL 2014 expiration code of Red Star PLATINUM yeast.  As a result of the packaging problems, the affected code is not performing to our high standards.  The packaging problem causes the loss of leavening power prior to the expiration date and will cause dough-rising failures.  There is NO health risk or food safety threat associated with the use of the yeast stamped with a JUN 2014 or JUL 2014 expiration code.  Lesaffre has made the decision to remove the JUN 2014/JUL 2014 expiration code from all supermarket shelves.  We value our customers and apologize if you have experienced any failures in bread making due to the use of the JUN 2014 or JUL 2014 code product.  If you currently have any unused product, or have experienced any failures with the JUN 2014 or JUL 2014 lot code, call us at 855-658-6757, OR use our contact page: redstaryeast.com/contact and we will provide you with replacement product that will perform to our usual high standards.  We appreciate your understanding and thank you for using Red Star PLATINUM yeast.
