ZURICH (Reuters) – Sacks of coffee shipped to a Nespresso factory in Romont, western Switzerland, found more than 500 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $50 million, local police said on Thursday.
Police said Monday night that employees of Nestle-owned Nespresso found a white substance when unloading bags of coffee that had just arrived from Brazil. Analysis showed that the substance was cocaine.
“The substance in question has not come into contact with any of our products or the manufacturing equipment used to manufacture our products,” Nespresso said in an emailed statement.
“We cannot share more details as the police investigation continues. We want to assure consumers that all of our products are safe to consume,” the espresso capsule maker said.
