KitKat has urged vigilance upon any detection of the product. The company also insisted that there are no indications affecting food safety and that the supply chain will not experience shortages during Holy Week. Nestlé, the brand's owner, reported on Sunday that a truck transporting 12 tons of KitKat chocolate to Poland was hijacked. In total, 413,793 chocolate bars were stolen. According to the official statement, KitKat confirmed it is cooperating with local authorities and logistics partners to investigate the theft and track the cargo. The priority is to locate the missing vehicle and load, and to prevent its sale through unauthorized channels. KitKat confirmed a risk that the stolen bars could appear on unofficial markets and has activated a protocol for distributors and consumers to verify traceability via barcodes.
