KitKat 4 Finger 45 g: version 1
Saved 2026-09-17 13:04 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added the 45 g four-finger KitKat (EAN-8 50426942, GS1 UK) from the wanted queue, plus family/kitkat and four new cocoa-butter-equivalent ingredient stubs (illipe fat, sal fat, kokum butter, mango kernel fat), each sourced to Annex II of Directive 2000/36/EC on legislation.gov.uk. **Identity.** The wrapper photographed for Open Food Facts on 2015-02-16 prints the EAN-8 as 5042 6942 with "45g e", the FAIRTRADE Mark, a Nestlé Cocoa Plan block, a Suitable for Vegetarians mark and the Nestlé UK contact block (0800 604 604 UK / 00800 6378 5385 ROI, PO Box 203, York) - printed evidence for GB and IE markets and for food_business_operator company/nestle-uk. The archived 2008 Barcodepedia page carried the same number as a "4 finger" Nestlé Kit Kat; its "Produced in United Kingdom by Unknown producer" line is prefix-generated and was not used. brand/nestle and company/nestle-uk already existed and were referenced, not re-sent. **Label read, not copied.** Ingredients, allergens and the panel were transcribed from the raw uploads (imgid 2 and 3), not from the Open Food Facts typed record. Two corrections follow from that: the wrapper prints salt 0.20 g / 100 g (0.10 g per bar, 2 %RI), where the typed record says 1.2 g, and fat 24.8 g where the typed record says 24.9 g. The record's *selected* ingredients photo (imgid 4, uploaded 2025-03-31) shows a 3 x 41.5 g multipack, i.e. a different article, so off_images was posted as an explicit map naming imgids 1, 2 and 3 and skipping imgid 4. Only the legible rows of the per-bar column were recorded; the rest is a research gap. **Status.** Recorded discontinued: current UK retail sells the four-finger bar at 41.5 g (Costco UK, 24 x 41.5 g), the Fairtrade relationship this wrapper advertises ended in 2020 (Wikipedia), and both case listings of the 45 g article - Amazon.co.uk B00G2LIMXI "Kit Kat 4 Finger Fair Trade 45g (Pack of 48)" and Lynas Foodservice S1705 "Kitkat Standard 4 Finger 24x45g" - read as unavailable. No maker statement of the changeover was found; that is in research_gaps, and last_seen is the 2015 wrapper photo (fin-seal code 07 2015). **Second, unconfirmed observation.** The Lynas sheet's per-100 g figures (502 kcal, fat 24.5 g, salt 0.23 g) are kept as their own observation and panel at status unconfirmed, with a note that they sit close to the current 41.5 g recipe and the 45 g title may be stale. **Not recorded.** Open Food Facts tags the record France; the wrapper is English-only with UK and ROI numbers, so FR is not in country_of_sale (research gap). An EAN-8 has no company prefix and no source names the licensee, so no gs1_prefix_owner row.. Current is v3.

| 177 | 187 | KitKat is the chocolate-covered wafer bar created by Rowntree's of York in 1935 and owned by Nestlé since it bought Rowntree's in 1988; Nestlé makes it everywhere except the United States, where Hershey holds a licence.[^wikikitkat] This EAN-8 belongs to the 45 g four-finger bar sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland: the wrapper carries the FAIRTRADE Mark, a Nestlé Cocoa Plan block and a "Suitable for Vegetarians" mark, and gives Nestlé UK, PO Box 203, York as the address for questions, with separate UK and ROI freephone numbers.[^packback][^packpanel] Four-finger KitKat has carried Fairtrade-certified cocoa in Britain and Ireland since January 2010, a relationship Nestlé ended in 2020 in favour of Rainforest Alliance sourcing.[^wikikitkat] The old Barcodepedia already held this number as a four-finger bar in 2008.[^oldbcp] UK retail now sells the four-finger bar at 41.5 g, and the case listings of the 45 g article are unavailable, so it is recorded as discontinued.[^costco][^amazonuk] | |

## Research gaps <!--research_gaps-->
| observation | domain | state | detail | source |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |
| | identity | unknown | No statement by Nestlé was found for when the 45 g four-finger bar was replaced; the discontinued status rests on current UK retail selling the four-finger bar at 41.5 g and on the Fairtrade mark ending in 2020. | ^costco |
| | markets | disputed | Open Food Facts tags the record France and United Kingdom; the wrapper is English only with UK and ROI freephone numbers, so France is not recorded here. | ^off |
| pack-2015 | nutrition | unknown | Only energy, fat and salt are legible in the per-bar column of the photographed table; the remaining per-bar figures are not recorded. | ^packpanel |
| pack-2015 | ingredients | unknown | The denomination line above the table ("... wafer fingers covered with milk chocolate") is not legible on this wrapper, so no QUID for the chocolate is recorded. | ^packpanel |
| | relationships | unknown | An EAN-8 carries no company prefix - GS1 UK allocates each number singly - and no public source names the licensee of 50426942, so no gs1_prefix_owner is recorded. | |
| | evidence | disputed | The Open Food Facts record's selected ingredients photo (imgid 4, uploaded 2025-03-31) shows a 3 x 41.5 g multipack, not this bar, and its typed salt of 1.2 g per 100 g contradicts the 0.20 g printed on the wrapper. | ^off |
| | markets | unknown | No Amazon.co.uk listing of the single 45 g bar was found; the only storefront hit is the 48-bar case, and no listing was found on any other national Amazon storefront. | ^amazonuk |

## About <!--about-->
KitKat is the chocolate-covered wafer bar created by Rowntree's of York in 1935 and owned by Nestlé since it bought Rowntree's in 1988; Nestlé makes it everywhere except the United States, where Hershey holds a licence.[^wikikitkat] This EAN-8 belongs to the 45 g four-finger bar sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland: the wrapper carries the FAIRTRADE Mark, a Nestlé Cocoa Plan block and a "Suitable for Vegetarians" mark, and gives Nestlé UK, PO Box 203, York as the address for questions, with separate UK and ROI freephone numbers.[^packback][^packpanel] Four-finger KitKat has carried Fairtrade-certified cocoa in Britain and Ireland since January 2010, a relationship Nestlé ended in 2020 in favour of Rainforest Alliance sourcing.[^wikikitkat] The old Barcodepedia already held this number as a four-finger bar in 2008.[^oldbcp] UK retail now sells the four-finger bar at 41.5 g, and the case listings of the 45 g article are unavailable, so it is recorded as discontinued.[^costco][^amazonuk]
