Bornstein Seafoods recalls 5-pound unpasteurized Dungeness crab meat cans with incorrect temperature indicators that may harbor botulism toxin if temperature abused.
Lower-risk 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.

Why it’s dangerous
The cans used a Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) that didn't properly show if the product was exposed to unsafe temperatures. If the crab meat was temperature abused, it could grow Clostridium botulinum bacteria and produce a botulism toxin.
Who’s affected
Anyone who purchased the recalled crab meat cans from stores or online. People who have the product at home are most at risk if they don't follow proper temperature handling.
