On Thursday evening, border control officials discovered the 418kg haul at the Channel Tunnel's UK inbound zone in Coquelles, France.
Totalling an astronomical £33m, not including the onion rings, the shipment was set for general sale here in the UK.
The lorry diver, 30-year-old Piotr Perzenowski from Poland, has been charged with smuggling Class A narcotics.
Perzenowski appeared at Folkestone Magistrates' Court on Saturday and will remain in custody until the 13 of December.
