[nabs-l] labeling food products and storage

[Jorge Paez]

Though I don't own one,
I got to use one at one point with some basic products.
It seems to work ok. Infact, the one I used had too much information on it, because it read me everything that was on the label. Too much for me at the time, but certainly useful for someone who'd have a need for it.
