Some updates: I am now in touch with a testing lab re: the “black things,” which I will not yet be calling by any other name for my own sanity. Also, a research company will be paying to DNA test the shrimp tail! (2021, y’all)

I want to also explain this: I have NO idea how this stuff got in my cereal bags and neither does
@CTCSquares. It definitely could’ve been contaminated in the Costco (though that doesn’t explain the squares with black stuff COOKED on it or the sugar coating on the shrimp)Show this thread
My point is - their initial reaction to shellfish being in the bag was to tell me it was sugar. Not to investigate the issue or look into it. It’s a deadly allergy to many (and non-Kosher) and that didn’t seem to matter beyond offering me a new box.

I originally approached them thinking it would help out! Then, they said I’m mistaking sugar for a crustacean. Anyway, I’m testing the DNA of a shrimp tail now. So, I hope everyone is happy.

As someone with a girlfriend who both eats Cinnamon Toast Crunch AND has a shellfish allergy, this infuriates me.

So their initial reaction to the shrimp was shellfish?

I wouldn't take a new box if I watched them custom make it in my own kitchen.

Oh man, is there a recall? There should be a recall. Cross contamination can kill people

The problem is this means there are other boxes out there with shrimp and that can literally kill people.

I’m allergic to shellfish and a bite of these “sugar crystals” woulda killed me.

Same. And General Mills still would be like “nope she must’ve died from something else.”
