After Greenpeace aired this video on You-Tube. Nestle  said Some products sold by the food and drink giant, including Kit Kats, contain palm oil.

Yesterday Nestle announced that its palm oil providers would have to identify and exclude companies managing or owning plantations or farms linked to deforestation.
In a statement, Nestle said it had suspended all purchases from Indonesian company Sinar Mas after it "admitted to mistakes in the area of deforestation".
"Nestle [is] determined to ensure that our suppliers do not buy palm oil from Sinar Mas, for all our factories," Nestle said in a statement'.
