Imitation crab meat/Kani Salad?

So, I would have thought Kani Salad (cucumbers, imitation crab meat and mayo, with no tobiko) was totally safe. I have been craving it like crazy. Then I googled. Apparently some think there is a listeria risk?! WTH.

I am pretty lenient, I have a cup of coffee a day, some cold cuts, tuna, etc. here and there. But this makes me nervous.

Would you keep eating it occasionally? (1x/month? Or totally lay off?)

I've actually eaten Kani salad before (sooo yummy) but now that i've seen this, i think i'll stop. It's just not worth the risk.

Thanks for sharing this - i would've never known!

I think all prepackaged food seems to have some sort of risk. I think if you do it in moderation and eat from a place that you trust and is clean you should be okay since you are very lenient with your diet.
