Health notes
Crab stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of minerals like calcium and may contain protein. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various seafood components, but specific evaluations for crab stock as a distinct ingredient are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
