Sausage, Sugar Cane Found In Diaper

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and agriculture specialists working at the Ysleta port of entry in El Paso discovered a commonly smuggled item in an unusual location Sunday. They found more than two pounds of raw pork sausage hidden in a pair of disposable baby diapers.

The seizure was made just before 10 a.m. when a 27-year-old Colorado man entered the port from Mexico. The man made a negative declaration for fruit, meat and plants to the CBP officer at the primary inspection booth. The CBP officer referred the vehicle to the secondary inspection area for a more thorough exam.

While searching the car in the secondary area, a CBP officer and a CBP agriculture specialist discovered seven stalks of raw sugar cane, a prohibited agricultural item. CBP officers continued their exam and found two disposable baby diapers mixed in with other food products. They opened the diapers and found foil-wrapped packages of raw pork sausage inside. Officers seized the contraband and fined the driver $250.
