May be temperature abused, which may result in growth of Clostridium botulinum
Connecticut Crab Company is recalling crab cakes sold to food service because they may have been temperature abused, which could allow Clostridium botulinum bacteria to grow. This poses a risk of botulism, a serious illness that can cause paralysis and even death.
Clostridium botulinum bacteria can grow in improperly temperature-controlled crab cakes, leading to botulism. Botulism is a rare but serious illness that can cause muscle weakness, paralysis, and even death if not treated promptly.
