REPORT ON FOOD YEAST PRODUCTION. 1. At their meeting on the 20th March, 1941, the Food Policy Committee of the War Cabinet agreed in principle that food yeast would be a valuable addition to the food resources of this country, and that its value from this point of view largely depended upon the speed with which it could be manufactured on a substantial scale. They invited the Colonial Office in consultation with the Departments concerned and with Professor H. Raistrick, to examine the practicability of obtaining food yeast produced from molasses or from sugar (whether produced in this country, in the Empire or in some suitable country such as the United States).
