FDA Issues Recall for Chocolates in 40 States Due to Undeclared Allergens
French Broad Chocolates PBC has initiated a recall of its Bette’s Bake Sale Bonbon Collections due to the presence of undeclared walnuts, which could pose a serious or life-threatening risk to individuals with tree nut allergies. The recall affects products sold in six-piece, 12-piece, and 24-piece boxes, with batch numbers 260414 and 260417, and best by dates ranging from June 22 to June 30, 2026. These chocolates were distributed through retail locations in Asheville, North Carolina, and online to customers across 40 states and Washington, D.C. The recall was prompted by a labeling error in the tasting notes, which misidentified a Walnut Fudge bonbon as a Peach Cobbler bonbon. No illnesses have been reported, but the company advises consumers with tree nut allergies to return the products for a full refund or dispose of them safely.
