Consumers of America, the Food and Drug Administration is trying protect you from a nasty case of food posioning. The U.S. Marshals Service, acting on behalf of the FDA, seized 32,000 pounds of crabmeat Friday from American President Lines Limited shipping company in South Kearny, N.J., AP reports. The FDA says the seafood was not kept properly refrigerated while it was in storage, and the company refused to voluntarily destroy it.
