Waterfront Bistro Flake Style Imitation Crabmeat is a processed seafood product designed to mimic crabmeat in texture and flavor.
The nutrition facts reveal that this product is low in calories (110) but high in added sugars (5.02g), which contributes to its sweet taste. While it provides some protein (7g) and iron, the lack of fiber and essential nutrients like calcium suggests it is not a significant nutritional source. The presence of artificial flavors and added sugars makes this product a less healthy option compared to fresh crab or other minimally processed seafood options.
This product appears to be ultra-processed due to its reliance on added sugars, artificial flavors, stabilizers like carrageenan, and numerous chemical additives such as potassium chloride and sodium tripolyphosphate. These ingredients are typically used in highly processed foods to extend shelf life and enhance flavor, which aligns with the characteristics of ultra-processed products.
Instead of using this imitation crabmeat, consider opting for fresh or canned crabmeat from sustainably sourced fish or plant-based protein sources like beans or lentils for a healthier alternative.
