Red Star Yeast Company is an American baker's yeast producer headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that ferments sugars into fresh, active dry and instant yeast for commercial bakeries, food manufacturers and home bakers, sold under the Red Star, Saf-Instant and Saf-Pro names in conventional, organic and non-GMO forms. The brand goes back to 1882, when a Milwaukee distillery began selling the compressed yeast that came off its whiskey production as a by-product, and the business turned to yeast alone during Prohibition. It reached its present form in stages: the French yeast group Lesaffre bought the Red Star division from Sensient Technologies in 2001, then set the business up in 2004 as a joint venture with Archer-Daniels-Midland, whose corn sweetener supply is the fermentation feedstock. Production runs from plants at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, opened in 2006 and since expanded into one of the largest yeast factories in the world, and at Headland near Dothan, Alabama.

Red Star Yeast Company, LLC files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Our History (Red Star Yeast), Red Star expands capabilities in Cedar Rapids (Baking Business) and Red Star Yeast (Wikipedia). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.

What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of Red Star Yeast Company, LLC where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
