Is this a fresh yeast?

No. Instant yeast is similar to active dry yeast, except for it is more "alive", which means you can mix it directly with dry ingredients instead of having to soak it in warm water before use. If you're substituting instant yeast in a recipe that calls for active dry yeast, reduce the amount by 25% and mix it directly with dry ingredients.Edited to add: I do highly recommend this yeast, though. I use it all the time and keep it in a Ziploc bag in the freezer between uses, and it stays active for 2 years, easily. Probably much longer than that.

Is this good for a Septic System ?

Not being critical, but as a septic system additive, a one-pound bag seems excessive and, from what my septic guy says, may even hurt your system. I've used the recipe found here: http://septictankcare.net/adding-bakers-yeast-septic-systems-anything/ (The Farmer's Almanac also has a recipe.) Good luck!

Did the packaging change? Or is this a different product? One page has picture of white pakage with red stripe near top. This page has blue on side

I still have one pound left from my last batch, purchased within the past year. (It has a wonderfully long shelf life!) It's Fleischmann's Instant Dry, made in Canada and distributed by ACH Food Companies out of Tennessee. Top section of package is red, center is yellow, and bottom portion is blue.

This is a 1lb bag but then it says 1/16, so i take it this is then subdivided into smaller packages?

This is a 1lb bag of yeast. It is not "subdivided" - - at least mine wasn't. It says 1 16oz bag not 1/16th.
