Var-Matin said the haul weighed 370 kg (815 pounds) with a
potential street value of around 50 million euros ($56 million).
Those figures could not be confirmed by Coca-Cola and the local
prosecutor could not be reached for comment.
"You can well imagine the surprise," said a spokesman for
Coca-Cola, adding that the workers alerted police and were ruled
out as potential suspects.
The stash was hidden inside a container of juice that was opened
on arrival at the factory in the town of Signes on Aug. 26.
