Cocaine Granola Bar- An old woman from San Antonio left a disturbing question on how could a bag of cocaine ends up in a bar of Nature Valley Granola. The woman identified as Cynthia Rodriguez immediately reported to Texas police after finding a small packet inside the granola bar.
General Mills, the maker of Nature Valley granola bars reported Thursday that the Cocaine Granola Bar pack did not come from their facility. There were no charges pressed against General Mills while Rodriguez, who has no plan to sue the company received no updates from the company.
Initially, Rodriguez thought that the cocaine Granola bar bag appeared to be a winning prize so she immediately called the representative for the company. However, the representative told her to call the police as there was no current promotion ongoing like that.
"I was munching it from the wrapper, and when I finished eating it, I like the crumbs, so I shook it out to get them and the little packet popped out in my hand," Rodriguez told ABC News.
Sgt. Javier Salazar, one of the narcotics detectives studying the case said that "You think of a child getting a hold of a package that's got interesting symbols on it, dollar signs in this case, and ingesting something like cocaine that could have a possibly dangerous effect, maybe even deadly on a child."
The cocaine Granola bar was first tested if it was heroin, then it came out positive for cocaine. The detectives in the narcotics group referred to the substance as "high quality cocaine." The San Antonio Police Department gathered the evidences consisting of the wrapper and the box the granola bars.
Until this moment, the SAPD team is investigating on the cocaine Granola bar. The team has been tracing where the granola bars were produced. Salazar said that they were still looking on the possibility of it was deliberately added or just slipped from someone's pocket during the assembly, according to Gawker.
General Mills has released a statement that for sure the cocaine Granola bar did not come from their facility.
According to Rodriguez, she did not buy the granola bars. She received a box of granola bar from a family friend. Rodriguez was just thankful that her grandchildren were not the one who consumed the pack of cocaine Granola bar.
