Overview
- Nestlé disclosed Saturday that a truck carrying 413,793 KitKat bars vanished after leaving central Italy for Poland.
- The vehicle and its 12-ton load remain unaccounted for, with investigations under way with local police and logistics partners.
- On Sunday, the brand said retail supply is not affected, revising a Saturday warning that shoppers could see short-term shortages before Easter.
- Each bar carries a unique batch code that lets retailers or consumers scan and get instructions to alert KitKat rather than attempting any recovery themselves.
- The case fits a Europe-wide rise in cargo theft reported by industry groups, raising concern about food shipments during peak seasonal demand.
