12 Tons of KitKat Bars Stolen in Europe Heist
The company said each bar can be traced by batch code as investigators warn the stolen chocolate may surface in unofficial sales channels.
- On Saturday, Swiss food giant Nestle confirmed a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new KitKat range was stolen while in transit between a factory in central Italy and Poland.
- The theft, which occurred last week, prompted Nestle to warn that missing inventory may cause a shortage of KitKats on shelves ahead of the upcoming Easter weekend.
- Nestle noted unique batch codes can trace the stolen chocolate to identify unofficial sales channels, while the company works with local authorities to recover the 12 tonnes of stolen product.
- A KitKat spokesperson said, "It seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tonnes of our chocolate," noting cargo theft is escalating.
- Cargo theft remains an escalating trend, as a separate shipment of Tucker Carlson's ALP nicotine pouches was hijacked in California, with the company offering a $100,000 reward for recovery information.
