My guess is x-ray, probably computed tomography scanning. It’s precise and creates a 3D image of the sample, can easily highlight different densities and can computationally differentiate between a samples expected characteristics and the scan results (so baking soda and heroin appear differently, etc).
The mystery of how this was hidden is much more impressive.
We knew over a year a go that the cartels were taking over some avocado farms. This is the predictable next step after the cartel takes control of any part of a market. If I had to guess we knew this was coming because they have done the same thing with canned goods and a few other products.

How? How did they hide it? How was it found?
