Police admit a "huge drugs bust" at Britain's Gatwick Airport has turned out to be vegan cake mix.
A staff member of the vegan pizza restaurant Purezza was transporting the ingredients in blue plastic bags inside a suitcase when it was discovered by cleaners earlier this week.
British Transport Police were then called to test the substance, which it initially suspected was a "huge drugs bust".
"Officers were called to Gatwick airport station at 1:34pm on 28 August after a suitcase was found containing 25 bags of powder," British Transport Police said.
"Following a number of inquiries and tests, it was determined these bags of powder were cake ingredients for a vegan bakery. They were soon reunited with the owner."
The pizza restaurant says it sees the funny side and has promised officers and staff a slice of cake in return.
"Thanks for going easy on us guys! A slab of cake all round is in order when you're next in Brighton," it tweeted in response.
