Ocean's Kitchen Corp. is recalling 496 cases of shredded imitation crabmeat because the product may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. This potential contamination occurred due to temperature abuse during chilled storage at the manufacturing facility. The affected products were distributed in Washington and consist of 2.5-pound vacuum-sealed bags intended for food service use, not for direct retail sale.
The product may contain botulinum toxin, which can cause botulism, a rare but serious paralytic illness that can lead to respiratory failure and death. The risk was created when the product was stored at improper temperatures, allowing for the potential growth of harmful bacteria.
You have 2 options:
2.5lb. bags are not for retail sales; sold in master cases containing 12 bags each.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
