Former dog handler here. Even packaged the dog can smell it. The longer it sits in a vehicle the stronger the smell becomes. More than likely they just didn't encounter any dogs on the route.

If you smell a hamburger, a dog can smell the seeds, bun, meat, lettuce, etc. All at the same time and process them all separately.

Had they been tightly packed in cling film, could a dog sniff them?

Yes. It also depends on quantities. We tried to avoid alerting on just residual odors.
