I remember it - it's a smokey flavored brewer's or torula yeast 
powder. I never used it, but it came in a can, i think, with a red 
label and was sold in health food stores. I haven't seen it recently, 
but then i haven't looked for it. It was included to increase 
nutritional value and to add flavor.

A swing through http://www.google.com turned up the following:

I suppose if you contact either the WI or the IL address, they can 
tell you who carries it retail.
