Phillips Crab, Premium, Jumbo 8 oz

Phillips Crab Premium Jumbo (8 oz) is a refrigerated, ready-to-eat package of hand-picked, virtually shell-free crab meat that you’d spot in the seafood case of a supermarket — usually near smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail, lobster meat, and refrigerated tuna or crab salads. The clear sealed tub or tray highlights the flaky white meat and the label touts pasteurization, "wild caught," and sustainability commitments from the NFI Crab Council. Shoppers grab it for easy entertaining or weeknight shortcuts: it dresses up weekend brunch (crab benedicts), becomes the star of a hot crab dip for game-day gatherings, or folds into a light summer salad or crab cakes for holiday hors d’oeuvres. The brand positioning leans toward premium convenience — a slightly upscale, coastal feel that appeals to cooks who want authentic seafood without the shelling fuss; marketing skews toward adults who entertain or value quick, protein-forward meals rather than children’s branding or organic certification. Label claims create a mild health halo: pasteurized, wild-caught, and “hand-picked” suggest freshness and quality, though there is no organic or non-GMO seal. In plain terms the product is pasteurized and packaged for convenience with a small processing aid (sodium acid pyrophosphate) listed to prevent crystalline formation. Sensory notes: tender, flaky, subtly sweet and briny, low-fat muscle meat that flakes apart easily; ideal for scooping or folding into recipes. Rituals around use emphasize quick assembly — drain, chill, mix with mayo or herbs, and plate — making it a go-to for speedy, celebratory or practical seafood dishes in American grocery culture.
