There’s Now A KitKat Tracker For The Public To Help Find The 400k Stolen Bars:
Nestlé is launching an online tracker to help locate over 400-thousand stolen KitKat bars. The company is turning to the public for its help in the ongoing investigation after thieves took about 12 tons of KitKat bars from a truck that left an Italian production site last week.
Nestlé's "Stolen KitKat Tracker" allows customers to enter an eight-digit batch code to determine if their bar is from the missing shipment.
If a bar is not from the stolen batch, the tracker prompts users to share the tool to expand the search. It's unclear what happens if a user enters a batch code from the stolen lot. The Swiss candymaker has the rights to the KitKat brand everywhere but the U.S., where Hershey owns the rights.
