Is there any palm oil in your products? All KitKat products containing Palm Oil contain RSPO responsiblly sourced, sustainable palm oil.

“Although all ingredients are certified as being vegan by the Vegan Society, the product is made in a factory that also manufactures milk chocolate products,” the spokesperson told news.com.au. “Because food safety is of the highest priority to us, the product packaging features the 'may contain milk statement.
VEGAN KITKAT® PLANT-BASED CHOCOLATE
Made using a rice-based milk alternative, the smooth chocolate paired with signature wafer is just as delicious as the iconic KitKat® you know and love.
KitKat is a proud member of the plan and as a result our products are all made with 100% sustainably sourced cocoa. Better chocolate means better lives for all, and to ensure this the plan focuses on three main areas – better farming, better lives and better cocoa.

However, Nestle also says that the “name first appeared on a boxed assortment of chocolates that Rowntree's made during the 1920s.” That name officially came from an 18th century Whig literary club titled after a man named Christopher Catling—or Kit Cat. It sounds like that might be the real origin of the Kit Kat name!
Palm oil, palm kernel oil, and coconut oil — the so-called tropical oils — got a bad reputation because they're high in saturated fat, which has long been linked to heart disease. Saturated fat boosts "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, both of which are risk factors for heart disease.
Preparations for the festivities caused an upsurge in the demand of cooking oil in Indonesia. For the first time in two years of COVID-19 restrictions, people were hosting extravagant feasts. It was within this context that the Indonesian government ultimately decided to ban the export of crude and refined palm oil.
The downsides of palm oil.
Now for the not-so-good news. Palm oil is especially rich in palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid that's been linked to increased risk of heart disease7 in some studies. However, results have been mixed and controversial on the oil's impact on health8 and heart health specifically9 .

Because the Kit Kat bar contains milk products, individuals that are lactose intolerant may experience flatulence and general gastrointestinal upset. The wheat flour may also cause GI upset in individuals that have gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance.
Are KitKats Gluten-Free? Unfortunately, most KitKat products on the market are made with wheat flour. Gluten is naturally found in wheat products, and wheat is used to make KitKat's wafer cookies. This means that all flavors of KitKat bars contain gluten.
Kit Kats in Japan are produced at Nestlé-owned factories in Himeji and Kasumigaura. The milk chocolate used for Kit Kats is made from whole-milk powder and Nestlé buys most of its cacao beans from West Africa.
