Swiss-based food giant Nestle announced that a truck containing approximately 12 tons of chocolate was stolen ahead of Easter. The company warned that the loss of the shipment, which included 413,793 products, could affect the supply chain in Europe.
DISAPPEARED ON THE WAY TO POLAND
Company officials speaking to Agence France-Presse (AFP) stated that the truck carrying products from the new chocolate series disappeared during distribution last week.
It was noted that the shipment was en route from Italy to Poland and was also planned to distribute in countries along the route.
“THEY TOOK THE MESSAGE TOO SERIOUSLY”
A company spokesperson, in a statement regarding the incident, referred to the brand's slogan, saying, “We have always encouraged people to take a break with our product. However, it seems that the thieves took this message too seriously.”
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
The company reported that it is still unclear exactly where the shipment was lost, and the fate of the truck and products remains uncertain.
It was noted that the investigation into the incident is ongoing in collaboration with local authorities and supply chain partners.
Meanwhile, Nestle warned that the stolen products could appear in unregistered sales channels across Europe.
It was stated that the products could be tracked through their batch codes, and necessary notifications would be made in case of a suspicious match.
