S. food giant Nestlé, the cargo contained in “a truck transporting 413,793 units” was stolen “during transit in Europe,” the company announced Saturday. At a conservative retail price of $2.50, this computes to a loss of more than $1 million in sales, or $868,000 in euros. Reportedly, the truck left a factory in central Italy and was on its way to Poland when it was grabbed.news outlets, evoking its advertising catchphrase. “But it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 tons of our chocolate.” “Investigations are ongoing in close collaboration with local authorities and supply chain partners,” the company representative said.Nestlé warned that the missing chocolate bars may lead to a shortage of KitKats appearing on shelves ahead of the Easter holiday, which could result in some sad faces among children expecting KitKats in their Easter baskets. The chocolate booty could also end up being peddled on the black distribution market, though the company said it would be able to trace their product by the batch codes found on each package.The shipment landed in California and was trucked about 30 miles across Los Angeles County to a temporary storage facility east of the city.Below the LineSenate Agrees to Fund DHS Except for ICE, Sends Bill to HouseWATCH: Trump Supporters Clash with Antifa Leftists at 'No Kings' RallyTim Walz Vows to ‘Never Leave the Side’ of Somali MinnesotansImmigrant Rep.
