I don't pay much attention to yeast. I have not had any reaction except for the pepperoni. However, MAOIs are unpredictable. You can eat the same cheese every day for years and not have a reaction, and then one day you react with the classic "cheese reaction". Also, there are interindividual differences in the foods that are tolerated. People have reported eating tons of pepperoni without having a reaction.

I was looking at a soyburger that had that listed. But I guess a soy burger is off limits anyhow.
If you eat out they probably wouldn't be aware of that ingrediant.
