Is there a difference between dry yeast for sweets and dry yeast for bread? (lemmy.world)

Currently I'm in Norway and at the supermarket I found dry yeast, but in three different packages, one for pizza, one for sweet doughs, and one for savory doughs (which I guess does not include pizza?). The ingredients were just "dry yeast" and an emulsifier, but the proportions were not listed.

I’ve never heard of sweet dough yeast but the pizza yeast has an extra ingredient that makes it need less kneading and rising, at the expense of some flavor. I would probably just get the savory if those are your only options.
