Is it okay for my yeast to contain emulsifier and ascorbic acid?

I'm preparing to do my first spirit run ever. Naturally, I've decided to go with Birdwatchers.
For some reason, all of the bakers yeast that I can find in South Africa is instant yeast with emulsifier and ascorbic acid. Is this a problem?
