I’ve read where nutritional yeast in not an active yeast and shouldn’t hurt someone who is allergic to brewer’s and bakers yeast, but I’ve also read where it would.

Does anyone know for sure which way it right?

Things that ‘shouldn’t hurt’ someone often do.
I’m sensitive to baker’s yeast and nutritional yeast bothers me, too. Maybe some people are okay with one but not the other. Not me.
Depending on how badly a person reacts to one should determine whether they try the other.

It honestly depends on how specific your allergy is. Many people’s bodies are not that picky about what they react to, and thus wouldn’t be able to tell nutritional yeast from brewer’s yeast. But some people have those lucky bodies who are only allergic to one specific thing, and their body never reacts to similar items.

So it honestly depends on you. But its not a risk that I’d take, unless my reactions to yeast were very very minor, as I’d expect to react hoping to be suprised if I didn’t.
