Where is the batch code located on Nestlé products?

Tuesday, October 31, 2023

The batch code on Nestlé products is typically located on the packaging, either printed directly on the product or on the label. While we strive to maintain consistency in our labelling practices, the specific location of the batch code may vary depending on the product, packaging format, and manufacturing location.

Here are a few common places where you may find the batch code on Nestlé products: 

1.    Packaging Label: Check the back, bottom, or side of the product packaging. Look for a series of alphanumeric characters, usually grouped together or separated by dashes or slashes. The batch code may be labeled as "Batch Code," "Lot Code," "Production Code," or something similar.

2.    Bottle or Jar Lid: For products packaged in bottles or jars, the batch code may be printed on the lid or cap. Remove the lid or peel back any protective seals to locate the code.

3.    Inner Packaging: Some Nestlé products, especially those with multiple layers of packaging, may have the batch code printed on the inner packaging or wrapper. Check inside the box, bag, or foil wrapper for the code.

We recommend checking the product packaging thoroughly, including the back, bottom, sides, lids, or inner packaging. Look for a series of alphanumeric characters, often grouped together or separated by dashes or slashes. If you are still unable to locate the batch code, please feel free to share a clear photograph of the packaging, and we will do our best to assist you further.

Note: Please note that on some products the best before date may be a bit harder to find. For example on Häagen-Dazs tubs this is always located in a fixed position at the bottom of the tubs. We have ensured consistency in this placement to make it easier for our customers to find the date. Additionally, we have taken steps to provide clear instructions on where to find the best before date. This information is mentioned on the artwork of our tubs, guiding you to look at the bottom of the tub for the date code.
