Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars , of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland . The company, based in Vevey, Switzerland, said in a statement Friday that “the vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found.
” The shipment of the crunchy bars, made of waffles covered with chocolate, disappeared last week while en route between production and distribution locations. The chocolate bars were to be distributed throughout Europe. The missing candy bars could enter unofficial sales channels across European markets, the company said, but if this does happen, all products can be traced using the unique batch code assigned to individual bars. A spokesperson for KitKat said that as a result, consumers, retailers, and wholesalers would be able to identify if a product is part of the stolen shipment by scanning the on-pack batch numbers. If a match is found, the scanner will be given clear instructions on how to alert the company, which will then share the evidence appropriately. “Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes,” KitKat said in a statement. “With more sophisticated schemes being deployed on a regular basis, we have chosen to go public with our own experience in the hope that it raises awareness of an increasingly common criminal trend.”Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy.Trump issues new threat to Iran’s civilian infrastructure if a ceasefire isn’t reached ‘shortly’ Trump threatened widespread destruction of Iran’s energy resources and other vital infrastructure if a deal to end the war with Tehran is not reached “shortly.”U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that Iran wants “to make a deal” to end the war, claiming U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner had held talks Sunday with an Iranian leader.A spokesperson said the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is operating normally, and that security wait times are fine, as of this reporting.Pilot and copilot killed in collision between jet and fire truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport Two people were killed and several others badly hurt when an Air Canada regional jet struck a fire truck on a runway while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.Chuck Norris, the action star whose roles in “Walker, Texas Ranger” and other television shows and movies made him an iconic tough guy has died at 86.WSECU Community Champion: Chrystal Ortega’s mission to feed Spokane Chrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
