More than 400,000 KitKat bars, weighing around 12 tons, have been stolen from a delivery truck in Europe, according to manufacturer Nestlé's statement on March 28. The chocolate was en route from a factory in central Italy to Poland when the theft occurred.
The company said the vehicle and its contents remain missing, with investigations currently ongoing in coordination with local authorities and supply chain partners. Each bar can be traced using batch numbers, and the public has been urged to report any matching products. Despite the scale of the theft, officials say there are no safety concerns and supply remains unaffected.
The incident comes amid growing concerns over cargo theft and freight fraud, with industry reports warning that such crimes are becoming more frequent and increasingly sophisticated across Europe, according to the joint report from the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) and the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) EMEA, cited in the company statement.
