If you are heating a product that contains diacetyl — such as microwave popcorn, coffee, hot-cocoa – ensure that the product has cooled down before consuming it. Distance yourself from the product while it is heating up, and avoid prolonged exposure to diacetyl vapors.

How do I get rid of diacetyl?

It is also possible to remove the diacetyl by adding more yeast after the end of fermentation. This is called “krausening” and is often used to promote carbonation while at the same time reducing the raw flavor of an unmatured beer.

What cheese does not have diacetyl?

Soon, the diacetyl-free line will include natural, allergen-free and non-GMO profiles of cheese flavors, such as blue, Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan, Romano and Roquefort, as well as milk-, yogurt- and cultured sour cream-type flavors.
