    FDA Labeling and Nutrition Information for the Food Industry is available
    at: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/lab-ind.html

    Links on tasteless smoke and/or carbon monoxide treated fishery products
    are available at: http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/guidelines/usguidelin.htm
    [Note: one of these days when time permits I'm going to do a better job of
