Frozen crab paste recalled over undeclared fish soy and wheat

Plain-English summary

Frozen Crab Paste imported by Mutual Trading Co. is being recalled over undeclared allergen ingredients: fish, soy and wheat. The affected products are the 3.5 oz (100 g) pack, UPC 72546723040, and the 500 g and 17.6 oz (500 g) packs, UPC 72546607852. All are labelled "Not for retail sale".

The recall covers approximately 21 cases across both recalled products. The 3.5 oz packs carry expiration dates 2025.11.10, 2026.02.09, 2026.03.09, 2026.05.26 and 2026.06.20; the 500 g packs carry expiration date 2026.05.12. The products were distributed to various restaurants across Hawaii, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, its most serious category, used where there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death. Fish, soy and wheat are major allergens, and this product reaches people through restaurant dishes rather than a package they can read.

Restaurants holding an affected product should stop using it and follow the importer's instructions.
