Overview
- More than 12 tonnes, over 413,000 bars, of a new KitKat line vanished en route from Italy to Poland, with the truck still missing.
- Nestlé rolled out an online checker that lets users enter or scan the lot code printed on each wrapper to see if a bar is from the stolen batch.
- If a code matches, the site gives step-by-step instructions to report the find and advises against trying to recover products on your own.
- The company says the chocolate is safe to eat and may surface through unauthorized sellers.
- The incident highlights a broader rise in cargo theft across Europe and could tighten supply before Easter if lost stock is not replaced.
