Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol was one of the earliest broad-spectrum antibiotics, but has been found to cause severe side effects, including anemia, leukopenia and aplastic anemia. Due to the potential side effects, the use of chloramphenicol in food products has been banned worldwide. However, due to the broad specificity, ready availability and inexpensive nature of chloramphenicol, it continues to be used in some countries outside of the U.S.

Sulfites

Sulfiting agents, sodium bisulfite and sodium metabisulfite, are used with shrimp, lobster and related crustaceans to prevent melanosis (a.k.a. “blackspot”). While sulfiting agents are very beneficial to the seafood industry, some consumers are highly allergic to sulfite residues in food. For this reason, FDA regulations state that seafood containing sulfite residues of 10 parts per million (ppm) or more must be labeled as containing sulfites.

Histamine

Histamine, which causes scombroid poisoning, is produced in certain types of fish when microbes break down the amino acid histidine. Elevated temperatures and time abuse of harvested fish accelerate the growth of microorganisms normally present in the fish, increasing the breakdown of histidine to histamine. Histamine production is common in fish such as tuna, mahi-mahi, mackerel, herring, marlin, bluefish, sardines, bonito and anchovy. Because of its potential for human illness, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that extensive refrigeration records and/or histamine testing must be included in a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program for relevant fish species. The FDA has set an action level of 50 parts per million (ppm) for histamine in domestic and imported fish.

WE DO NOT USE NOR WILL EVER USE THESE COMPOUNDS IN OUR PRODUCTS.

WE CONSTANTLY MONITOR AND TEST FOR HISTAMINE AND LYSTERIA.

OYSTERS

The Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginicais)  known for its distinctive, salty flavor and meaty texture. Cooked meat turns ivory. They can be fried, baked, steamed, broiled or micro-waved and can be served as appetizers, main dishes, side dishes or salads. Oysters are tender creatures. They should never be heated too quickly or too long. Oyster stew attests to the delicious flavor of the cooked oyster in its own broth. Oysters are high in minerals and one of nature’s richest sources of iron, more than calf's liver; eight ounces provide 13.2 milligrams or 73% of the maximum adult daily iron requirement (18 milligrams). They contain as much of the trace elements as meat from domestic animals and more than vegetables and dairy products. The protein in oysters is of high quality and is more digestible than beef or chicken.

Store fresh, shucked oysters on ice or in the coldest part of the refrigerator and use within five days of purchase.  You can freeze oysters in  the containers we sell them in, but make sure to drain a bit of the juice first to prevent the lid from popping. Or freeze in an airtight container. You can freeze them for several months but its better to cook them afterwards (raw oysters are better eaten fresh). Thaw them in the container under cold running water or in the refrigerator. Never refreeze.

There is risk associated with consuming raw oysters for people with compromised immune systems. If you have chronic illness of the liver, stomach, blood, diabetes or other immune disorders, you are at greater risk of serious illness from raw oysters and should eat oysters fully cooked. If unsure of your risk, consult a physician
