Crabs are a popular seafood choice because they are relatively easy to catch and cook. However, it is important to be aware that cooked crabs can pose a food safety risk. This is because crabs may contain harmful bacteria that can cause illness.

Therefore, it is essential to take care when handling and cooking crabs. When cooking dead crabs, it is important to ensure that they are thoroughly cooked through. This means that the crab meat should be white all the way through.

If the crab meat is still pink or red, then it is not cooked properly and could make you ill. To avoid this, it is best to use a food thermometer to check that the crab meat has reached a safe internal temperature of 74\u00b0C. <\/p>\n \n
