" 6. Forming the crab meat
The frozen surimi is converted to imitation crab meat through various steps. First, it is warmed to about 25°F (-4°C), then sliced into coarse flakes. In a process known as comminution, the surimi flakes are then mixed together in a stone bowl grinder with other ingredients in the crab meat recipe. These ingredients include starch, salt, natural crab meat, egg white, and flavors. This mixture results in a thick surimi paste, which is then transferred to a holding tank."

Thanks for the info tippler..I kinda thought that but I wasn't sure. Sometimes I get the gusto to try it, 'just to see' but I dont know, I get flashbacks of that time in the hospital where my tongue had swollen (girth-wise) so much you couldn't see the bar on my t-ring. I was prescribed medication by syringe just in case I got another reaction but I, luckily, haven't had the chance to use 'em....
