A ‘huge drugs bust’ by police at Gatwick Airport this week turned out to be vegan cake mix.
A staff member from award-winning vegan pizzeria Purezza, which has branches in Brighton and Camden, was stopped when police discovered bags of white powder in their suitcase.
Officials tested the powder, before concluding it was not an illegal substance.
