5-pound cans of unpasteurized recall
Recalled by Bornstein Seafoods Inc · Bellingham, WA, United States
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
5-pound cans of unpasteurized, reduced oxygen packaged (ROP), ready-to-eat, Dungeness crab meat are recalled because the incorrect Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) was applied to the cans. The TTI would not indicate the temperature abuse. If the product was temperature abused, it would create the potential hazard of Clostridium botulinum growth and toxin formation.
Pathogen: Botulism
Clostridium botulinum toxin, a risk in improperly canned or under-processed foods.
The most serious food recalls: a contaminated product can cause outbreaks, hospitalisations and deaths, especially for pregnant people, young children, older adults and anyone with a weakened immune system. All bacteria & viruses recalls.
