Nestlé South Africa is recalling some of its Kit Kat chocolate bars due to the possibility that they may contain glass pieces.
In a statement on Thursday, the company said that it is initiating a voluntary recall of a limited number of KitKat milk chocolate products, as a precautionary measure, due to the possibility that they may contain glass pieces.
“To date, we have not received any complaints or reported injuries. We are taking this action out of an abundance of caution having discovered the presence of small pieces of glass during our quality and safety checks.
“The affected products were produced over a limited period and this voluntary recall covers only products with specific production codes that you can find on the label,” the company said.
No other sizes and variants of KitKat products (dark chocolate and white chocolate) are affected by this recall.
- Nestlé KitKat 2 Finger Milk 36x20g UTZ MB with production codes “13590177”, “13600177”, “13620177”, “13630177”, “13640177”, “20010177” and “20100177” visible on the back of the packaging; and
- Mini Bag Milk 32x200g UTZ with production codes “20120177”, “20010177”, “20020177”, “20030177”, “13620177”, “13600177” and “13610177” visible on the back of the packaging.
Milk chocolate KitKat products with different production codes from those listed here are not affected by this recall either.
“Consumers who may have purchased the products listed above should not consume them but should instead return them to the place where they were purchased, for a full refund.
“To locate the production code, consumers should look on the side panel of the package,” Nestlé South Africa said.
