Product
5-pound cans of unpasteurized, ready-to-eat, Dungeness crab meat, packaged in reduced oxygen metal cans that were shipped with Fresh-Check B Time Temperature Indicator (TTIs). Product was shipped frozen. The label is read in parts: "***BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS ***WILD Dungeness CRAB MEAT***INGREDIENTS: CRAB MEAT WITH SALT ADDED ***NET WT 5 LB***HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: To protect the delicate flavor and texture of this crab meat, we recommend the following handling practices***KEEP REFRIGERATED: 33-38 degrees F, after opening, cover remaining product during storage***PACKED BY BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS INC. ASTORIA, OR 97103***".
Reason for recall
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.
