There is probably no way to know. Imitation crab is often called the hot dog of the sea. It's made from other fish meat and assorted additives. Exactly what is in it depends on the particular brand you bought. Even then, the industry is well known for not accurately labeling ingredients, in some nations anyway, so even the label may not give you a hint at what those things might be.
