Restricted in the sense that you're limited to one package per customer, or restricted in the sense that nobody's allowed to buy yeast? In the former case, it's because yeast is an item people have been buying en masse, presumably under the pretense of being able to have bread even if grocery stores don't have any available (flour's been pretty depleted for the same reason). In the latter, I haven't heard of that happening anywhere in Canada except the occasional First Nations community that has such a severe problem with alcoholism that they've enacted prohibition and need to limit access to yeast to prevent home brewing, and I haven't heard of it happening due to lockdown, but that could explain it.
