Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024
(1) Crab meat for pasteurization shall be
				pasteurized within 36 hours of the time it is picked. The minimum
				pasteurization specifications shall be the raising of the internal temperature
				of the container of crab meat to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C) and holding at
				that temperature for at least one minute at the geometric center of a
				container.
(a) Each set of pasteurizing
				equipment shall be standardized so that the minimum pasteurization procedure in
				this subparagraph can be obtained.
(b) The pasteurization procedure shall be
				performed in accordance with the standardization report.
(c) The pasteurizer shall keep on file the
				standardization report and shall provide the department a copy of such
				report.
(d) Nothing in these
				regulations shall be construed as prohibiting any other pasteurization process
				which has been found equally effective and which has been approved by the

				determined for each water bath and for other conditions, such as the
				temperature of the meat, for the size of the container and other variables.
				Plant operators are warned that time-temperature conditions for one water bath
				may not give a satisfactory pasteurization on another water bath.
