About this product
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.[2] 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.[3][1] 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.[2] The old Barcodepedia already held this number as a four-finger bar in 2008.[4] 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.[5][6]
Where it's sold
- Amazon.co.uk [6] United Kingdom new Amazon.co.uk lists "Kit Kat 4 Finger Fair Trade 45g (Pack of 48)" (ASIN B00G2LIMXI, 45 g, 4 pieces, Fair Trade); no barcode is printed and it reads "Currently unavailable".
- Lynas Foodservice [7] United Kingdom new Lynas Foodservice catalogues "Kitkat Standard 4 Finger 24x45g" (product code S1705) as "Currently Not Available"; no barcode is printed on the page.
- UK freephone 0800 604 604 and the York postal address are printed on the wrapper, which is in English only.[1] United Kingdom
- ROI freephone 00800 6378 5385 is printed beside the UK number on the same wrapper.[1] Ireland
A listing is evidence that this barcode is sold there, on that date; a price is what that listing showed, not a recommended price. Store links may be affiliate links (how this works).

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- 45 g Fairtrade wrapper, UK and Ireland: nutrient evidence: 13 / 13 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- Lynas Foodservice sheet for the 24 x 45 g case: nutrient evidence: 9 / 9 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- markets · unknown: Searched amazon.ie on 2026-09-17 for "KitKat 4 Finger 45 g", brand "nestle", and 000050426942 (store search, plus "kitkat 45g" sorted price ascending): no listing of this article; Store only lists the 41.5 g 4 Finger bar: B07LFHTVDY (Kitkat 4 Finger Chocolate Bar 41.5 g) and the 24 x 41.5 g case packs B07NSQK1FW, B007CI4PTU, B01ELAG5PI (its details table prints pack GTIN 07613036246750).
