Kit Kat Wafer Bar

Kit Kat was originally created by Rowntree's of York in the United Kingdom in 1935 as 'Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp' before being rebranded in 1937. The brand has since become a global icon in the confectionery world.

Ownership of the brand is currently split: Nestlé owns Kit Kat globally, except in the United States, where it is manufactured and distributed under license by the Hershey Company. This unique arrangement stems from a long-standing agreement made prior to Nestlé's acquisition of Rowntree's in 1988.

Manufacturing takes place in various factories worldwide, including major facilities in York (UK), Hamburg (Germany), and Dubai (UAE). The barcode shown (prefix 358) indicates the product was likely processed or packaged for the French market, reflecting Nestlé's extensive distribution network across Europe.
