Officials say nearly 58 pounds of iguana meat hidden in corn dough - which is normally used in tamales - was discovered Monday in two ice chests on a tour bus from Mexico bound for Texas.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Tuesday announced the seizure by agriculture specialists at the Laredo Port of Entry.

Luggage was being examined at the Lincoln-Juarez International Bridge when the undeclared food items, worth nearly $1,600, were discovered.

A female passenger was questioned and processed for deportation.

The case has been turned over to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agents for further investigation.
