According to the Deputy Director General, NACOC has encountered about four different food products used in similar attempts at different times. He added, “The second incident occurred in 2025 at the cargo section of Kotoka International Airport, where cocaine was again mixed with food products. He disclosed that earlier, in 2022, officers had also intercepted a case involving a different food product mixed with cocaine. In all these cases, part of the packaging contained genuine food products, while other portions concealed the narcotics. In the 250kg case in the Netherlands, a particular company’s food product was used to conceal the cocaine in the container.
