I make bake a lot of bread and buy yeast in a large quantity because of economics. I keep about a months worth in a tightly sealed jar, and The rest in in freezer. I have kept frozen yeast for a very long time with no deterioration.
You can keep it up to a year, in an airtight container stored in a dark place like a cupboard. Hope this helps! It's best if you buy quantities you can use in less time, so that it's at its freshest.

Um, nutritional yeast isn't the same thing as yeast for baking. It's dead at the time of purchase.
But, yes, all foods are subject to degradation; temperature, light and moisture being factors in how long such changes take to occur.
