A Dhaka court has ordered the removal of one batch of Nestlé Bangladesh’s KitKat from the market until a related case concerning it is disposed of.

The food court order, issued today (15 December), instructs the parties concerned to complete the removal by 21 January 2026.

In his application, Md Kamrul Hasan, Kamrul Hasan, a safe food inspector at the Dhaka South City Corporation, said the Nestlé Bangladesh KitKat chocolate in question is an unregistered, unauthorised, uncleared and substandard product, which is unsafe, adulterated and poses a serious threat to public health. 

The relevant batch number is 44399139 and production code 6294003539054, he added.

“In these circumstances, to ensure safe food for the people of Bangladesh, control adulterated and unsafe food, and restore discipline in the food business, the court is requested to pass an order directing Nestlé Bangladesh to withdraw the KitKat chocolate from the market and destroy it, and to temporarily suspend the import, marketing and sale of Nestlé KitKat chocolate in Bangladesh until BSTI licence and clearance are obtained.”
