Howdy,

With respect, I would suggest that you contact KA...

That said, is it possible that they are not "starters" in
the sense that we ordinarily use. Perhaps they are some sort
of flavorings, and commercial yeasts.

In any case, KA will have some answer, and then you can tell
us...

All the best,
