Over 700 pounds of illegal bologna stuffed in suitcases seized at Texas border, feds say

A 43-year-old woman crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas told officers that she had cooked meat in her vehicle.

As agriculture specialists at the Presidio port looked further, they found several heavy suitcases containing 40 rolls, weighing in at 748 pounds, of bologna in her SUV.

But the rolls were not the type of bologna that can be bought at a deli counter in the U.S., rather it was an illegal meat that posed a threat to the U.S. pork industry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a Sept. 25 news release.

“Mexican bologna is a prohibited product because it is made from pork and has the potential for introducing foreign animal diseases,” CBP said.

The bologna was to hide the drugs and cash, but I guess she didn't know it was "illegal" bologna!
