    Dear Listers,

            Some of the salt products used to cure and brine smoked fish
    contain sodium ferro cyanide (YPS) that is added to salt as a functional
    "free-flow" or "anti-cake" additive (YPS declared on label). Is anyone
    familiar with studies that have been done to determine if YPS-treated salts
    are safe when used in smoked or brined fish? Is there a method to detect
    free cyanide levels in tissue treated with YPS salts? Many thanks for any
    discussion on this.

    s/David Weston
