% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Research indicates that crab muscle contains bioactive peptides with anti-inflammatory properties that may suppress cytokine expression, according to SpringerLink. As a type of seafood, crab provides protein, though specific allergenic proteins have been identified in various crab species, posing a significant public health concern for individuals with shellfish allergies, as noted by PubMed. Additionally, studies indicate that mud crabs can bioaccumulate heavy metals, which may alter fatty acid profiles and present human health risks.

Source: Harvard Health, 2025
Summary: Crab, along with shrimp and lobster, was historically advised against for individuals with elevated blood cholesterol. Now that experts recognize that dietary cholesterol has only a modest effect on blood cholesterol, that warning is less relevant. In addition, crustaceans are low in fat and high in protein.

Source: PubMed
Summary: Crab species contain diverse allergenic proteins, with a species-specific allergen identified in King Crab, contributing to shellfish allergy which affects up to of the global population.

3. Heavy Metals Bioaccumulation and Its Impact on Fatty Acids Composition in the Benthic Crustacean Mud Crab (Scylla Paramamosain) and Associated Human Health Risk.
Source: PubMed
Summary: Crab, specifically the mud crab (*Scylla paramamosain*), can bioaccumulate heavy metals, which in turn alters its fatty acid composition and poses an associated human health risk upon consumption.

4. Crab Pentapeptide and Its Anti-Inflammatory Activity on Macrophage Cells
Source: SpringerLink, 2021
Summary: Crab body muscle, specifically from *C. natator*, contains inflammation-suppressing amino acids and can be enzymatically hydrolyzed to yield a pentapeptide (ESPVL) that exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing cytokine expression in macrophage cells.
