When the yeast arrives in bulk it is both kosher and vegan (vegan using the definition that no animal products are added or used in the manufacture- some vegans may consider the yeast itself to be non-vegan based on their own individual interpretation). From the bulk package it is rebottled in the yeast vials that come with the kit. It is not labeled as kosher or vegan because the bottling facility has not been certified by a rabbi and the "vegan" label has government requirements to put that word on the label.
