A truck traveling from Italy to Poland was targeted in a large-scale chocolate theft — about 12 tonnes of KitKats were reportedly taken.
In response, KitKat has launched a “Stolen KitKat Tracker” so customers can see whether a bar they bought is from the missing shipment. To use it, visit the brand’s tracker page, select the Stolen KitKat Tracker option and enter the ID number printed on your chocolate bar to check whether it appears on the stolen list.
Nestlé KitKat issued an official statement confirming the theft was real and not a publicity stunt or an April Fool’s joke. “Someone really stole 12 tonnes of KitKats. And we really want to know where they’ve gone. So, we’ve created a Stolen KitKat Tracker that lets you check if your KitKat is from the missing batch,” the company said, asking customers to help locate the missing chocolates and directing them to the tracker link.
The tracker announcement was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the account “KITKAT.”
