Twelve tonnes of KitKat bars stolen during transit in Europe

Nestle reported that a truck carrying 413,793 KitKat bars, totaling 12 tonnes, was stolen last week while in transit. The shipment originated from a factory in central Italy and was intended for distribution in Poland. Both the vehicle and the cargo remain missing, and the company has not disclosed the specific location of the theft. Nestle warned that the heist could result in product shortages on store shelves ahead of the Easter holiday. The company is collaborating with local authorities and supply chain partners to investigate the incident. The stolen bars are trackable via unique batch codes, which provide instructions for reporting if scanned. Nestle expressed concern that the stolen goods might be sold through unofficial channels.
