I've had reactions to processed food with yeast extracts while on MAOIs. Some foods with yeast extract seem to do it and others don't, regardless of how much is in the food ("yeast extract" doesn't really tell you anything anyway).
These reactions have never been very serious, though. Actually, I think most tyramine reactions are like this.. there seem to be only a few foods (like Blue Stilton) that have enough tyramine to be able to cause a serious hypertensive reaction without eating massive amounts.
