Confectioner Nestle has confirmed thousands of recalled Kit Kat Chunky bars were not made in its York factory.

The company has called back batches of its 48-gram peanut butter, hazelnut, chocolate fudge and caramel flavour bars after seven people in the UK found plastic parts in them.

A spokesman said the affected bars were made outside the UK.

The company has also recalled its Kit Kat Chunky Collection Giant Eggs as a precaution.

It advised customers not to eat the products and return them unopened for a full refund.

A spokesman said: “The safety and quality of our products are non-negotiable priorities for the company.

“We sincerely apologise to our consumers for any inconvenience caused by this voluntary recall.”
