Swiss food giant Nestlé reported a major theft of 12 tons of KitKat bars during transit in Europe, involving over 413,000 units of a new product range. The truck, travelling from Italy to Poland, disappeared en route and remains untraced. Authorities are investigating the incident with supply chain partners. While the company warned the stolen stock could enter unofficial markets and potentially affect availability ahead of Easter, it later clarified that overall supply remains stable and there are no consumer safety concerns. The unusual “chocolate heist” has drawn attention due to its scale and timing during peak seasonal demand.
