    I recently answered a question on the Mad Sci website related to this topic:

    http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/959862579.Ch.r.html

    My response sites two references that the FDA training manual suggests for
    sulfites in *fruits* (not seafood) but it might give you a good starting
    point. Another message from Al Bushway discusses paper strips.

    By the way, http://www.MadSci.org is an excellent website for kids to learn
    about science!
