Y is for Yeast

Now this might seem an odd subject, but i want to know what has happened to yeast.  When I was considerably younger, I used to make bread and you could only get fresh yeast which had a very short 'shelf life.  i loved the smell and the texture of this yeast, and I am sure that the bread was much better than that which I make these days.

Nowadays you can buy dried yeast in sachets and tins and that seems to smell funny after quite a short time.  i have bought fresh yeast in the supermarket (Morrisons) which lasts for three weeks.

Have the scientists tampered with this very handy stuff?  GM'd it?
