County Road Seafood, LLC., based in Belhaven, North Carolina, is recalling its County Road Seafood Crab Cake 2 Pack 4 Ounce package due to the presence of undeclared egg.
The recall, effective May 21, 2024, is a crucial safety measure to protect consumers with egg allergies or severe sensitivities.
Reason for Recall
