7. Added Sugar Content:
A stick of imitation crab contains a large amount of carbohydrate, around 5grams per 3 ounces. This is a little over a teaspoon of sugar, which many people would not expect in fish! But artificial crab is processed and has sugar and salt added.
8. Contains Preservatives
When bought as a canned fish, imitation crab may contain food additives like MSG and other preservatives, which may not be the best choice for you and your baby.
