Sustainability
Quality
Blue Star continues to create a high quality product and increase sustainable value through the following initiatives:
Sustainable Value
- Fresh product: Our crabs are caught daily, arriving at our plants within hours of being crabbed.
- Live product: Our crabs are caught live and handled in a way that prevents damage and/or stress.
- Clean product: Our crabs are harvested from waters free of contamination and our handling practices ensure that our crabs are kept free of contaminants. We have the highest quality and hygiene standards in place.
- Natural product: Our crabs are 100% natural. We do not mix other Portunus species in our crabmeat.


Ethical Packaging with Sustainable Value
Blue Star leads the crab meat industry in ethical and sustainable packaging. Our green packaging for Eco-Fresh crab meat offers value in the following ways:
Improved Taste
- Our green packaging for Eco-Fresh crab meat allows us to offer a product with improved flavor due to shorter cooking times and no metallic aftertaste. Processing times are typically faster in pouches than metal or plastic containers, preserving the natural sweetness and moisture of the crab meat.
Extended Shelf Life
- Compared to plastic cups, our green packaging for Eco-Fresh crab meat offers an extended shelf life.
Saves Money, Time and the Environment!
- Our green packaging for Eco-Fresh crab meat facilitates the complete evacuation of our product, thus reducing the amount of product waste and improving the yield for your food application.
- Our lightweight pouches for Eco-Fresh crab meat are easy to handle. They also reduce storage and shipping costs because of their compact design.
- Our green pouches are safer to handle because they lack the sharp edges found on other types of containers.
