Is Invertase vegetarian?

Invertase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose, produced commercially by fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). It is used in confectionery to prevent sugar crystallisation and to produce invert sugar.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
