Police were left with substitute egg on their face after revealing a huge airport drug bust turned out to be bags of vegan cake mix.

Cleaners called Gatwick police after finding a suitcase stuffed with blue plastic bags of suspicious-looking white powder on a shuttle train at the busy airport.

But after the suspicious contents were tested police were amused to find it was just dairy and egg free cake mix.

Officers then tweeted about the mix-up on Wednesday, telling passengers to label food and bring samples of sweet treats.

British Transport Police tweeted: ”Huge drugs bust at Gatwick airport.

“In collaboration with the Home Office, powders tested and discovered to be vegan cake ingredients.

“Please label your foods and bring samples of cakes next time you visit.”

The bags of baking powders belonged to Purezza, a trendy vegan restaurant in Brighton, East Sussex, and tweeted a response to the police.

They said: “So, we had quite an eventful time transporting some of our ingredients today.
