what's the difference between safe-instant yeast and safe-instant yeast gold?

i use safe instant yeast (red label ) for regular bread doughs and Saf (gold ) for sweet bread doughs, sweet rolls, donuts etc.

When is the expire date of this yeast?

Usually printed on the package. Once opened, I store mine in a mason jar (with lid!) in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. I'm new to SAF Gold but use their regular yeast and have had no problems even two years later. I'd test some in a little water to see if it 'fizzes'. With any instant yeast, do NOT let it develop in warm milk/water/etc. It is mixed with the flour. Hope this helps.

is these package change looking? it's not the same looking with the picture online.

I have seen LeSaffre-Saf yeast in two types: a "standard" yeast in a red colored package and a "high sugar" yeast in a yellow or gold type package. Both would work. The high sugar yeast is for better performance in products that typically have a sugar level in excess of 5% (See/query "bakers percentage"....)

Why is the expiration date on a sticker, not printer directly on the package?

All the 16 oz SAF yeast packages I have purchased have the date of manufacture and the expiration date printed on the package. Do not know why its on a sticker unless they have started up some older packaging equipment to meet demand. Flour sales in the US has increased 20-30% in the last few months and so has yeast.

The best yeast

I love this ceased for so many reasons it performs beautifully. You can use a little bit less and you can add directly into your dry mix. I just love it. It makes baking breads so much more simple.

SAF God Instant Yeast

The SAF Yeasts whether Red or Gold are probably the best instant yeasts you can use. The best thing about Instant Yeast is you don't have to proof it. You just drop it in with your dry ingredients and it saves time and does a wonderful thing to your dough when it rises. Very good yeast.

This is the best yeast ever

I got this yeast because of its price and the review on it is pretty good. This is my 2nd purchase on the same exact item. The review says it is good on sweet bread but I have been making all kinds of bread. The result is excellent every single time. The yeast stays fresh and active. I just love it! This is the best brand I have used so far.

A pandemic era purchase

This was in no doubt a price gauge product... Only worth the money because I got to eat fresh baked bread.
