Nutritional Yeast - heme or non-heme iron?

I can’t find anything online of what type of iron there is in nutritional yeast. Is it heme or non-heme? Does anyone know for sure?

Answer

heme iron is something of animal origin, being from hemoglobin. the iron available in any plant or fungus is non-heme as none of them have hemoglobin.non-heme iron is still found in milk and eggs.
