Nestlé has confirmed that more than 400,000 KitKat bars were stolen while in transit through Europe last week, sparking an international investigation into the disappearance of the 12-tonne shipment.
The theft, which targeted the brand's newest chocolate range, occurred as the haul was being transported from Central Italy to Poland. According to a statement released by the company on 27 March 2026, the vehicle and its substantial cargo remain unaccounted for despite ongoing efforts by supply chain partners and local law enforcement to track the missing goods.
