Discover KitKat®'s Products

At Nestlé, compliance with international and local regulations is non-negotiable. Nestlé products in the Middle East market distributed through Nestlé Middle East FZE are manufactured under strict regulations that meet Islamic standards to ensure that the products are Halal as mandated by the law in the UAE and other countries in the region. KitKat® chocolate products which are distributed in the Middle East market are manufactured by Nestlé Dubai Manufacturing LLC, our factory in Dubai, UAE which has acquired the Halal Certification from Emirates Standardization and Metrology Authority (ESMA) and do not contain any alcohol or tobacco or any traces of it. 

There are certain International Certification Services which are normally responsible for auditing our suppliers for certain aspects, one of which is Responsible Sourcing. According to the audit, they issue a Letter of Conformity which confirms that the supplier is compliant with the “Responsible Sourcing Audit Program”. Hence, our policy is to cut the supply from suppliers who are not complaint with the same and with the code of ethics and from the ones who are not willing to close their gaps for Regulatory, Environment and Safety incompliances with local and international laws.

Kindly note that any NESTLÉ product available in Middle East market does not contain any Genetically Modified Organisms including KitKat® products. As a global food company, we also take into account local consumer preferences and attitudes concerning the use of GM ingredients. Hence, GMO ingredients will be declared on the packaging in case they were present in any of our parallel import products. 

Lecithin is an emulsifier that allows hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles to mix together. In KitKat® chocolate, it helps sugar & milk molecules to be easily coated with fat. Lecithin is the main ingredient which helps us obtain the liquid, flow-able chocolate and reach the desired viscosity.
