'The only common denominator with all these patients is they ate this Three Kings bread in celebration of the holiday,' Cpl. Anthony Bertagna told NBC Los Angeles.

The bread was sold by ten of the bakery's outlets.

He says the exact drug has yet to be identified but lab specialists are now investigating.

'There are hundreds of types of synthetic drugs,' he said. 'Hopefully they can isolate what exactly we're talking about.'

The dessert is eaten to mark Three Kings Day on Jan. 6
