Different sources or national labels can coexist. Differences alone do not establish a change to the product.
- French wrapper with Rainforest Alliance cocoa and 1-portion table supported · Compare evidence
Read from the wrapper photographed for Open Food Facts on 2023-05-18 (ingredients, nutrition and sorting panels); the artwork render uploaded on 2023-03-18 prints the same list, table and barcode 4005 2397 but gives the wafer as 31,8 %.
- French wrapper, best before 12 2018, "+25% de lait" supported · Compare evidence
The right edge of the panel is outside the photograph, so the first ingredient and the ends of three lines are not legible; `valid_until` is the date of the photograph. The printed best-before date is 12 2018.

Typed list and per-100 g figures of the record as last edited on 2026-09-17; they differ from every photographed label (cocoa mass moved forward, glucose syrup added, 510 kcal), and no photograph of such a label is on the record, so it may be a newer revision.

About this product
KitKat is the chocolate-covered wafer bar Rowntree's of York launched in 1935; Nestlé has owned it since buying Rowntree's in 1988 and makes it worldwide except in the United States, where Hershey holds a licence.[3] This EAN-8 is the single four-finger milk chocolate bar of 41.5 g sold in France: the wrapper is in French, carries the Triman and Info-tri sorting marks and the Nestlé France consumer service at Issy-les-Moulineaux, and names Nestlé Deutschland AG of Frankfurt am Main as the maker.[1] The current label describes a crisp wafer covered with milk chocolate (68.2 %), gives the whole bar as one portion of 213 kcal, and marks its cocoa as Rainforest Alliance certified under mass balance.[4][5][6] A Réunion retailer's data sheet gives Germany as the country of origin.[2]
Earlier French wrappers differ. One photographed in 2018 listed skimmed milk powder before wheat flour, used palm oil, bakery butter and vanilla flavouring, gave the chocolate as 67.2 % and printed a claim of 25 % more milk and 6 % more cocoa in the chocolate.[7] Another, photographed in 2018 and 2021, split the bar into two portions of two fingers (20.7 g) and printed 521 kcal per 100 g.[8] The Open Food Facts typed record carries a further list with glucose syrup and 510 kcal per 100 g.[9]

- Open Food Facts typed record: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- relationships · not_applicable: An EAN-8 carries no company prefix: GS1 Germany allocates each 400-range EAN-8 singly, and no public source names the licensee of 40052397, so no gs1_prefix_owner is recorded.
- markets · unknown: Searched amazon.fr on 2026-09-25 for "KitKat 4 Finger chocolat au lait 41,5 g", the brand "KitKat" and 40052397: the store lists only cases and multipacks of the 41.5 g bar (B01MZC6JC4 display of 36, B007CI4PTU 24 bars, B01IUQVEIC 10 bars, B08KZ988YC 6 bars) and no single bar.
- markets · disputed: Open Food Facts tags the record Mexico and Spain as well as France and Réunion; every photographed wrapper is French-only with French sorting marks, so Mexico and Spain are not recorded.
- evidence · disputed: Two Open Food Facts uploads on this record (imgid 9 and 10, 2019-11-01) show a Hershey's "Kit Kat Crisp Wafers" wrapper of the US licensee, a different article.
- ingredients · disputed: The typed list adds glucose syrup and moves cocoa mass before the vegetable fats, and the typed nutrition (510 kcal per 100 g) matches no photographed table; which label it comes from is not shown on the record.
- ingredients · disputed: The photographed wrapper gives the wafer as 31,4 % while the artwork render of the same label gives 31,8 %; both give the milk chocolate as 68,2 %.
