Does anyone else use this?

Yes I do now and then. On buttered toast and popcorn. I put it on steamed broccoli a few times; very good. I never bought Bragg's.

@Senenity .. for whatever use it is to you..

From NutritionFacts.org

No detectable lead levels were found in Bob’s Red Mill, Bragg, Dr. Fuhrman, Red Star, or NOW Foods brand nutritional yeast.

We found detectable amounts of lead in samples of Frontier, KAL, and Whole Foods brand nutritional yeast, but the lead levels were so low that they all comply with the exceedingly (and justifiably) strict California Prop 65 standards. Still, I advise pregnant women who eat more than a third of a cup a day on a regular basis choose a different brand.

I probably don't consume a third of a cup of nutritional yeast over the course of a month, never mind a day.

Most use it to season foods they'd otherwise sprinkle with parmesan and/or salt. Eggs, popcorn, salad, rice and pasta, for instance.
 
Never heard of the lead risk. I usually get it in bulk at WINCO Foods. I should look if they have a brand listed on the container. I've seen this lead warning on protein powders also.

I use it a lot. I've found recipes online for making cheese sauce with potato and carrot and nutritional yeast. I want to try it since all the cheese substitutes seem to have coconut oil in them.

I use it all the time, have a bottle sitting on the dining table along side the salt and pepper. Never had a bad reaction or any of the side effects listed above.

Me neither and I don't exactly just sprinkle it. I use it liberarely in soups, beans, potatoes, homemade pizza, all kinds of stuff. Not every day but several times a month.

Maybe I should try it again. It’s been about 45 years. Wasn’t really fond of it.

It took me years to like the stuff. For me, the brand made a big difference. Some really are better than others. Also, I think it's best used in small amounts. I seldom ever use more than a tablespoon or two in a recipe and it's plenty. Anything more than that is just too much, in my opinion.
