Vitamins are not shown: South African labels only declare them when a nutrition claim is made, and fried fast food is not a meaningful source — modelled vitamin figures would be guesswork we're not willing to publish.
Figures are estimates modelled on KFC's published nutrition ranges for comparable products — actual values vary by piece mix and preparation. For clinical or allergy decisions use KFC South Africa's official information; see our kilojoule guide and allergen guide.
