New Delhi [India], April 1 (ANI): A large-scale chocolate theft in Europe recently has taken an unexpected digital turn on Wednesday, with the popular confectionery brand unveiling a 'Stolen KitKat Tracker' on Wednesday, that allows customers to check whether their chocolate bar is part of the 'missing batch.'

The update comes days after the company confirmed that a large consignment (12 tonnes) of its products had gone missing during transit.

The unusual incident, already drawing global attention, has now evolved into an interactive online moment as the KitKat has introduced the 'Stolen KitKat Tracker', sparking widespread curiosity and humour across social media.

The tool allows customers to enter the 8-digit batch number printed on their chocolate packaging to check whether their purchase is linked to the missing shipment. Addressing speculation around the timing, the company clarified that the initiative is 'not a stunt, or an April Fool's joke.'
