Goods containing meat or poultry derivatives may also trigger USDA FSIS review depending on their composition.

Yes — heading 2102 covers active and inactive yeasts, dead single-cell micro-organisms, and prepared baking powders. Active baker's yeast and brewer's yeast both fall here, as do dried or liquid yeast preparations used in food manufacturing.
