I never heard of it before, but a search on Google (my favorite 
search engine) produced information.  It is a yeast product with a 
hickory-smoked flavor.  Several web pages said it is available in 
health food stores.  Manufacturer is:

Bakon Yeast, Inc.

I gather that it's a flavoring ingredient, not a leaven.
