100% Portunus Pelagicus Crab Meat

This is the meat of the blue swimming crab, scientifically known as Portunus pelagicus. It is typically harvested from wild populations in the Indo-Pacific region and processed for consumption. The meat is often cooked, picked, and sometimes pasteurized or canned.

Crab meat is primarily used to add a distinct seafood flavor and texture to foods. It is a key ingredient in dishes like crab cakes, seafood salads, bisques, and pasta sauces. Manufacturers use it in packaged foods such as canned seafood, chili, and stews.

Portunus pelagicus crab meat is a natural food product and does not have a regulatory status as a food additive in the US. It is a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated seafood generally, but specific evaluations for this species' meat are not typically categorized separately. Consumption is generally considered safe for most people, excluding those with allergies.
