How much yeast does a person typically eat a day in the European Union?

The quantity of yeast a person eats daily depends on his/her food habits, which are generally linked to origin, region and culture. It can be estimated that a European adult typically eats 3.5g of fresh, compressed yeast on a daily basis. This is based on the average of 180g of bread, rolls and fine pastries consumed every day, and the fact that 3% of fresh, compressed yeast is used per flour weight in these products. By estimation, it can be concluded that a person eats 2 to 10g of yeast per day through bread consumption. This estimation does not take into account the consumption of nutritional yeast in salads or other dishes.
