Los Angeles-based comedian Jensen Karp went viral last year after he shared pictures that appeared to show shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
of a conversation between himself and CTC that were shared on Twitter, Karp pointed out that the cereal company asked him to send the boxes so that they could test the product but he refused to do so.Adam Wall, a crustacean researcher at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles , wrote in athat the pieces in question did “look a bit like a shrimp’s telson and uropods” and that he planned to analyze the specimen under a microscope to confirm if it was, indeed, a shrimp tail.
“If the specimens do indeed prove to be shrimp, I will be working with a team of researchers to extract DNA for sequencing,” said Wall. “We will then be using a molecular method of identification called DNA barcoding to attempt to identify what species of shrimp the fragments might be from. But that only comes into play if they are not just ‘accumulations of cinnamon and sugar.’”
Other social media users pointed out that shrimp is an allergen, and contamination with other cereal could prove harmful and Karp said that it is a “massive bummer” that anyone would not take the incident seriously.
